Nice display, but... 
CrossGL Surface Clock version 1.00 beta
- Interface: 2
- Features: 1
- Ease of use: 2
- Value: 4
- Overall:
Nice display, but there is no option to change the bland white. Also, it is on top of everything on the desktop. This means rearranging gadgets and icons (using on Vista and Win7). Definitely has a little work left to do, but it is a nice start. [Editor: The `on top` behavior can be changed from the settings dialog]

Time to look elsewhere...

I have used WP for several years, but it is now time to look for something new. Tropic has stopped supporting this app in order to concentrate on the apps that he makes money on. Unfortunately, people are downloading it, but never making a donation. I am hoping to find one that works as well as WP did. I am always open to suggestions.

You get what you pay for...and then some
AceMoney Lite version 3.11
- Interface: 4
- Features: 3
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
I have been using this for several years. The interface is easy to understand, the program is simple to setup, and my wife (technology challenged) is able to use it with next to no training. I wish that it was easier to interact with spreadsheets, but, you get what you pay for. Right?

Enough is enough
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition version 8.0
- Interface: 3
- Features: 3
- Ease of use: 1
- Value: 3
- Overall:
Great program for free, but too many false alarms. My wife`s games were always being quarantined. I guess if you don't pay for the software, they ignore you.

Not too bad
WeatherMate version 2.9
- Interface: 3
- Features: 3
- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 5
- Overall:
It's small and unobtrusive, can be hidden to the system tray, and even contained my little town in it's city list. Uses about 20mb of memory when running. That's about average with others that I've used. The one thing I don't like is that there is no option to make the radar image larger, or change it to another type of image for my area.

Limited search
Schmap Player version 2.0
- Interface: 1
- Features: 2
- Ease of use: 2
- Value: 4
- Overall:
When selecting a city, you are limited to the city proper. Since most hotels are on the outlying areas of cities, Schmap does not allow you to view those areas. When scrolling west, for example, the map stops scrolling at the city limits. I don't see the point of installing something that does not perform any better than what is available online already. If you are going to be in a downtown area of a city, then this is very convenient. The quick descriptions on mouseover are nice, and simple checkboxes for viewing different details in the city

Not worth the trouble yet...
geProduct Key Finder
- Interface: 1
- Features: 1
- Ease of use: 3
- Value: 4
- Overall:
There are no options, and it does not detect any Office 2007 products. I am hoping that this is just a work in progress, because this would be extremely handy if it worked correctly. It does allow you to save the keys found in a text, HTML, or CSV file; and you can print directly from the program.
