Editor's review of WW2 Warbirds

• "WW2 Warbirds"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: WW2 Warbirds 1.1

As you may surmise from its name, this screensaver delivers a collection of images featuring fighter planes used in the Second World War. WW2 Warbirds shows these antique aircraft in modern settings; all the photos were obviously shot recently rather than during the actual conflict. In most cases, the quality of the pictures is just fine, though the primitive MIDI music wasn't our cup of tea. We also can't tell you which actual planes are featured in the screensaver, since the captions only display a number rather than a name. On the plus side, we do appreciate the program's feature set, which allows you to set the image delay, choose from a number of transition effects, and disable the soundtrack. Still, we must complain that the one-week trial period seems a bit stingy. History buffs and aeronautic enthusiasts are most likely to be this screensaver's core audience.
