"Great program. Terrible Install"
Version: ACD/ChemSketch Freeware 11.01 build 22419
Pros
wonderful program, lots of power, lets you create molecules at your will.
Cons
DO NOT INSTALL VIA CNET DOWNLOADER. It's determined to install terrible addons into your browser, and even if you prevent it from installing the toolbars, it'll still install extensions into your browser which enable MORE ADVERTISMENTS ON EVERY PAGE!!! Youtube began playing advertisements durring my videos, google loaded 10+ adds on every search, and web browsing was slowing to a crawl. I've disabled the extensions I've found so far but I personally feel wronged. furthermore,I'm not even sure I've removed everything that was installed.
This is 90's era bloatware maliciousness and I cannot believe CNET would get involved in such shoddy behavior. I certainly won't be downloading any more files from them, and I may stop visiting this site period.Summary
Download this program somewhere else.

"Great software for chemical structure drawing"
Version: ACD/ChemSketch Freeware 11.01 build 22419
Pros
Drawing of chemical structures, some templates, some advanced features. Free!
Cons
Some of the features are locked for paying users. Occasionally difficult to find the right editing tool.
Summary
Free version of ACD/ChemSketch 12.1 includes only some features - no problems with installation and stability on Win7 (64 bit).
User interface appears similar to the outrageously priced ChemDraw; however, it is different! Short-cuts are different. Certain settings (like changing the font, bond length, or arrow appearance) seem counter-intuitive.
The software has two tabs: "Structure" - for chemical drawing, and "Draw" - for other editing. One must switch between them to create reactions. Among nice features, one must list name generation, properties calculations, some structure templates, 3D viewer, structure clean-up, etc. Unfortunately, more advanced features are available only for paying users. What is in the free version is more than sufficient for a casual user, even for a chemist.
Overall, I can recommend this programme to anyone who needs to draw chemical structures. -
"Fast, intuitive, and free -- too bad it's Windows only."
Version: ACD/ChemSketch Freeware 11.01 build 22419
Pros
Fast, intuitive, and free, and a needed escape from the hideous cost of ChemDraw.
Cons
Nothing for the Mac OS, and no sign that there ever will be. (It does run just fine in a VMWare Fusion virtual Windows installation, but still...) Also lacks the MS Office integration of ChemDraw.
