Version: Poster 7.9
"Want some basics? Got plenty of time and fast cpu?"
Pros: This program wasn't invented for people want CorelDraw/Photoshop/etc., but instead, it's intended for beginners and people who don't want to pay much for a graphical application.
Cons: Very ugly designs and graphics - fe. tutorial, stat page... - and basic gui. The tutorials are uncreative, there's no good view. Maybe the texts shouldn't be that big - and there shouldn't be too much sizes - and with so many colors, too.
Start POSTER button is at the bottom at start... Despite this program isn't very big it's slow (all-in-all) and it might takes at lot of time to insert even a small picture (if that's possible..). Also if i said that it's not too expensive, i'd thinking about which product to choose, even if the other is more expensive.
I wonder what feature is that i can't create with Word.
There aren't many formats people would use as banners (BMP, EMF, WMF).
The help isn't perfect as it has got some missing entries (fe. Options), too, but at least in chm format.

"This is a very basic piece of software which is very similar to Microsoft Paint"
Pros: Its easy to see what your designing and has many tools to use.
Cons: However the program is very basic and not very interesting. Its rather boring to use and is harder to use than Paint although end results are better in Paint.

"Works well with large format printers"
Pros: *WYSIWYG interface
*allows you to print with higher than normal resolution when inserting smaller image files.Cons: reverts back to default printer on saved work when you re-open saved work which means you have to do printer setup every time you save and open a Poster.
Summary: Well worth its weight. Highly recommended by me, a 7 year user. read more

"fun and intuitive with beautiful results!"
Pros: I've been using Poster for years for any posters, fliers, or graphic design needs I have. Using graphics and the huge collection of clip-art is easy and intuitive, the fonts are gorgeous and I love the way the font menu lets you preview.
Cons: Some of the font characters don't translate well between each other
