  "Wow! Absolutely Incredible!!"

  by lordmachiavelli on May 14, 2008

  Pros: I hate Microsoft, and I still give it 5 stars! The last good product MS ever put out was their serial mouse driver in 1988 or so; until now that is.

  Cons: It did crash, but I went into advanced settings and tried to manually purge the tour cache. But hey, I'm running XP/sp3, and it's the first release of WWT.

  Wishlist:

  There are many image databases to choose from, across the entire spectrum. I would like to see one spectrum line across the screen (like a widget or so), with a slider that snaps to the appropriate database. I mean, what average person knows the difference between Q and V microwave band? :)

  "The Download Restarted My Computer, Twice"

  by SENSUAL24 on May 21, 2008

  Cons: I tried to download it and it cuased my computer to restart, I thought it might have been something else that caused it, but then I tried it again and the same thing happened, and both times it was the only download I was running, I should know better than to deal with Microsoft downloads.
