Pros
the concept is good.
Cons
only good when installed in the recommended OS.
Summary
this program was created in the early 2000s, when computers run Windows 2000 & XP. the creator doesn't create this program compatible in OS later than Windows XP. when my computer still runs Windows XP, the program runs as a service, which can be seen automatically in my desktop. now, i use Windows 7, and it runs as individual program, not a service. it bothers me a lot to switch to this program only to enjoy it, when before, i got this program installed as a service.

Pros
Easy to install/uninstall
Cons
Took huge amount of power as soon as it started--mouse sluggish, thought it was going to crash.
Characters much too small, covers icons and desktop when in desktop mode, even hides taskbar, you have to press Win key to get it back. Tried tweaking it when I found the options, still not useable.
Using Win 7 Pro x64 w/ 8 GB RAM, AMD 2.5 GHz X4 processor.
Summary
Too good to be true...

Pros
I like the concept and how this screen saver works showing through the symbol trails. The authors had a great idea when they created it and it works quite nicely. The saver has a ton of configurations which is nice.
Cons
It isn't really a Matrix screen saver. More like a Matrix style screen saver.
Summary
If you really dig the Matrix style computer symbols but don't care if they look like the movie and have a ton of time to configure The Matrix get this one and see what you can do with it. The symbols are not identical to the Matrix which was a real bummer for me. So I went onto the next one. I don't need 8 Matrix screen savers on my computer.

Pros
love the way you can have it as both a screen saver and desktop and can even have a pic in the desktop even with the matrix system on your desk top and still see the pic...
Cons
only problem I had was trying to find a cool pic that would look good with the matrix program on the desktop but that can hardly be held against the program its self
Summary
if you like the matrix code from the movie you will love this program, font is small and don't jump around in a unusual way when the font changes. I give its creators props for taking the time to create a great program. I have not experienced any thing to speak negatively about this program for as picky as I am with things I have downloaded I rated it a full 5 stars! I would highly suggest this program for those who love the matrix code from the movie.

Have you tried the alianware logo i would think it will look amazing
Pros
Very nice effects. Full customizing availability.
Cons
BIG problem using screensaver option, even viewing a screensaver preview.
Summary
If you decide to download zmatrix; be sure to set your screensaver to activate at 9999 minutes. DO NOT preview screensaver or the program completely covers your screen (very funny... ha ha). If you do, you will probably have to shutdown your computer manually (pushing the button on your tower). I ended the program with the task manager, which was very difficult to do with the streaming characters covering my screen. Other than this, I had no problems with the program and decided not to uninstall it. I always trust CNET's spyware free indication.
