"Can't try out"
Version: Desktop Weather by The Weather Channel 3.0
Summary
When installed, the program requires you to enter the email address that was registered at weather.com when it was downloaded. Problem is, I downloaded it here via download.com (which linked to the file on weather.com). I try to complete the (intrusive) registration form on weathercom but could not using either Netscape 4.80 (crashed) or IE 5.5 (seemed to complete the registration, but weather.com did not remember any information entered on any of the pages).
Hopefully, the folks at the Weather Channel figure out how to get the registration pages to work.) -
"Does not work with authenticated proxies!"
Version: Desktop Weather by The Weather Channel 3.0
Summary
This is a great program but it does not work with authenticated proxies, like most Weather programs. I would have thought that Weather Channel would get thier stuff together and make one that works with authenticated proxies!

"Would be better if it worked."
Version: Desktop Weather by The Weather Channel 3.0
Summary
Program won't download from the Weather.com website so I tried here. Downloaded fine but refused to recognize my registration. Continuously sent me to the "register" page at weather.com. If they get this glitch fixed I'll give it another shot. As it is, I'm uninstalling it.
