I used to have it and I was pretty satisfied with it.  I was able to find A LOT of hard-to-find songs and it downloaded pretty quick; and it was user-friendly.

Very good. I enjoy them ^^. They Run Windows Xp Pretty Fast too. Mac os X is nice on it too. Only thing to complain upon is the retail software support thas it!

I have used Gambit's Mimic for years. The product is reliable but the company absolutly sucks to work with. So I moved to SimpleSoft's Simple Agent Pro which is not quite as stable, may be due to me using a usb license key.\n\nBoth products have about the same features although Simple Agent Pro seems to be a bit easier to use. Right now I would purchase the Simple Agent Pro rather than Mimic.

The best is winmx, (no its's not dead) no spyware whatsoever huge downloading community, easy to use and its free! I have been using winmx for I think about 10 years now. go to http://www.mxpie.com/downloads.html\n You have to download the program and the Pie patch installer to get it to work.

We use the infragistics package.  Their stuff is very visual, so they have tons of ways you can change the appearance of the controls.  A bit cludgy to learn their objects, but ok.  If the default microsoft stuff is a D+, then I give Infragistics a B-

So many answers and so much bad info. I use both on a daily basis. Neither is a piece of junk or a wrong choice just because of what it is.\n\nFirst, I'll explain the bad info and then give you some straight dope:\n\n"Macs for one there's no right click" -- hold the Command key when you click, same. How often do you right-click? Most people, about twice an hour. No big deal.\n"...confusing to go from a PC tool bar where it seems so simple..." -- I use both Windows and Mac, no problem with the toolbar. It's almost the same as on Windows.\n"... costs $300 or more for software, you'll find almost no shareware or freeware..." -- I haven't found any $300 or more programs except the ones that cost $300 for Windows also, such as Photoshop and Quark XPress. Tons of Mac freeware /shareware. I have dozens of them. Try versiontracker.com\n"You have to buy all your motherboard and internals from Mac franchised dealers there is no OPEN SOURCE like on a PC" -- not true. You can buy NVidia, ATI, Beldon, etc. at almost any large computer store such as Comp USA, Fry's, etc. The motherboard is not made by third-party companies but do you plan to change the motherboard in your laptop? Come on, guys!\n"Do NOT, however, expect easy data exchange UNLESS you buy Mac/PC compatible programs." --I exchange Excel, Word, JPEG, HTML files, no problem. Microsoft made some Word and Excel bottle-necks for Mac software ten years ago but now they have figured it out.\n"pictures made with the "free" software that came with his Mac. Totally unreadable in a PC" -- Huh? I make JPEG and PDF files on my Mac using Preview and screen capture and send them by email to my brother's Windows box, no problem. Someone has a lame Windows setup if they can't read standard JPEG and PDF files.\n"...he has to compress them using a Mac compression tool that does not work well with Win Zip" -- I don't have to compress my files at all. If I do, I can unzip them fine on my Windows box and so can my friends.\n"You will not find familiar, easy to use tools.  ...Fetch for FTP" -- If you don't want to see something unfamiliar, stick with Windows. And vice versa for Mac users, don't look at Windows, it's unfamiliar. About FTP, just use web-based such as www.01ftp.com\n"if you do picture work you may HAVE to buy Adobe at $600 if you want to exchanged images with PC users, because we can't deciper their PCT images" -- Not true, get GraphicConverter or QuickImageCM for free and don't save in PICT format unless you plan to publish or print it from your Mac.\n"Too many "Mac" proprietary formats to deal with..." -- Maybe your Mac using friends don't know what formats are good for Windows. They can save files in almost any format that other platforms need. Not true for Windows, but never mind. They needn't use the TWO OR THREE Mac proprietary formats.\n"...only good exchange is Apple Quicktime" -- No, Macs can use almost any video format. Microsoft has stopped making Internet browser plugins for Macs since they got mad at Apple for offering Safari to replace Internet Explorer so their PROPRIETARY WMV format needs a third-party plugin.\n"...not for casual computing, game playing or even Internet browsing, since many of the sites are Linux or NT based" -- Huh? Since when does the type of server affect your browsing ability? Many web sites use Mac servers and that doesn't keep Windows boxes from browsing. No sense here.\n"You CAN expect to have problems seeing some sites" -- older versions of Safari were totally wacky but with newest version or Firefox, this is not an issue.\n"I never got the hang of macs. they are way too complicated to operate." --  My friend's 8 year old learned to use my Mac in about ten minutes. You just have to relax and accept new ideas.\n".

If you bought a Macintrash to use Windows you wasted a lot of money.\n\nBuy a cheap PC, install Linux and Windows.  Not only will you have a *nix much better than MacOSX, but it's free.

MS has made them time limited, and they will expire after a set period of time. Personally, I found the Beta to be nothing but trouble. I wouldn't even try at this point if you haven't yet. It's buggy as hell. No wonder they have missed several launch dates and changed the name from Longhorn to Vista. Wait until they get it right (if they ever do). You'll sleep better.
