I blame most of it on Microsoft. They've made Bill Gates the richest man in the world (actually 2nd now) by pretending their stuff works when it is barely functional in many cases. Owners using XP and Vista pay us thousands of dollars every year to unwind situations that have their genesis in poor coding.

This is why I try to use Freeware whenever possible. Number one - it's free! Number two - I'll probably get better support than commercial software and even If I don't I won't get frustrated trying to converse with some kid in New Delhi.

As I look over the stuff I have bought and use it's a pretty small grouping. Two items do stand out, however - Adobe Premier Elements and Adobe Photoshop Elements.You can buy the pair for about $150 I believe and you will have a near professional toolbox for image and video manipulation. They are worth your consideration.
