Version: Belarc Advisor 7.2t
Pros: Belarc advisor identified my operating system,processor,main circut board,hard drives. The name,model number and serial number of my computer. Also identified the amount of memory I have installed,local drive volumes. My user account,network connections,ip address and other devices.
And identified all installed microsoft hot fixes,software licenses,all installed software that gives the names of installed software. And this symbol * and when I place the mouse on * it gives details, or if I click on * it gives the location of where the software is installed. When I click details on any microsoft hot fix, it opens microsoft help and support, and gives detailed information about the hot fix. And it will let me know if I'am missing any microsoft hot fixes.

Version: Belarc Advisor 7.2k
Pros: Belarc found that one of Microsoft's patches was installed but not functioning properly. It gave me a link to an info-page that gave me detailed instructions on how to fix the problem. Microsoft could not detect the problem but Belarc Advisor DID!!! As long as MS keeps issuing patches lol, I'll be using this to verify the installation!
Cons: Internet Express has to be your default browser to display the report, otherwise you have to go into Program files to locate the profile-link. Very frustrating 'til you figure it out! lol

"This is a fun tool but better on "XP" then "Vista"."
Pros: It's a fun tool that works great on an "XP" system but it still isn't fully accurate on my "Vista" system. It correctly identified the make, model, processor, bios, operating system, IP address and my CD/DVD and DVD/RW drives. It identified my user account, bus adapters, video card, display, audio and other drivers as well all of my installed software and license codes. This is a pretty nice, easy way of getting a quick look at everything about your computer including hardware, software, updates and patches.
Cons: CIS Benchmark Score is not yet functional with "Vista" and it missed a part of my ram. It told me I have 3070 Megabytes Installed Memory when I actually have 4092. But hey, no other application picks up all of it either. When they get the CIS Benchmark Score fully compatible with "Vista" it will be a 5 star freebie.
