Cons
no cons whatsoever

"Didn't Change Anything !"
Version: Windows 7 Codec Pack 3.7
Pros
Easy, clear steps for the installation
Cons
Doesnt do anything at all. The same file formats that were not playing before are still not playing now. I followed the instructions and checked for any codec pack (though I know I don't have one) and I got the same error message from WMP "file is corrupted or format not supported"... Sure the file is not corrupted because it played well on RealPlayer. So now I still have some of my MPEG / MPG files playing on WMP and others on RP (!)
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium (32) with all windows updates completed till date (01-FEB-2012)Summary
Useless (at least for me)

"Good but Dealio Toolbar included"
Version: Windows 7 Codec Pack 3.7
Pros
Very good coded pack.
Cons
Why does Cnet state this package is spyware tested but installer includes Dealio Toolbar hidden in expert settings during install. It took me two days to get rid of it last time!
Summary
It would be a very good package, if there was no Dealio Toolbar.
Sorry mate but Dealio toolbar is **** I don't want. On my other PC I ticked not to install it but it installed anyway and it took my days to get rid of it.

This is the problem of freeware I'm afraid, it's the crap that comes with it. I would be much more willing to pay $10-$20 for a clean version. -

"NOT a very good start"
Version: Windows 7 Codec Pack 3.7
Pros
Quick to download
Cons
Could not get anything past the opening page, no weather nor any options worked. When I started my computer this am, nothing would load, finally got win 7 desktop with a message that codec pack was not working and that they were looking for an answer.
Summary
I understand that this is a beta, but this isn't even funny.
