Downloads crap with desired program when using Chrome.
bethfloridaMarch 31, 2013
Pros
None. I never had the chance to use it.
Cons
In recent months, CNet has started including spyware disguised as a toolbar or other useful app along with the program you want. Up until now, I have been able to unclick the various boxes and do a clean install. With Biz Plan, I declined the add in progam, but the spyware was included anyway.
Summary
Sadly, it is difficult for me to trust CNet downloads.
Too much trouble

Pros
Works like a word document...
Cons
You have to email them to unlock the file so that you can edit it. It's protected with a password until then. Too much trouble for just a microsoft word templet. Not to mention having to wait for them to send you the password.
Summary
If you are in a hurry and determined, go for it... otherwise I say find another program. It's silly to go register (even if free) at one site, email another, and then wait.

i think you should fire the programmer, it seems to be a palpable product; but the layout, accessability and overall formatting- sucks! once more fire that programmer. zikwe

Great Help In Writing Business Plans
MetsBelieverMarch 18, 2006
Pros
First off this isnÃ¢Â€Â™t really a program, its a Word template. The downloaded file contains an exe file which basically puts a word doc and a html file in a directory for your use. The word doc is the template, and the html file is a white paper on writing a business plan. <p> <p>The template is over 60 pages long and covers way more then I could write in this review, it really does cover all the bases. <p> <p>If your a novice or donÃ¢Â€Â™t have an MBA, this template crucial to getting your ideas for a business off the ground. <p> <p>The program which installs the template is free of spyware and adware.
Cons
ItÃ¢Â€Â™s a bit annoying that you have to "install" this, it would have been easier just to put the template and the white paper in the zip file. <p> <p>The template you get is a read-only document, to unlock it so you can write in it you must register it. Registration is free, but you do have to "email them the serial number". Basically you giving them your email address, they claim they wonÃ¢Â€Â™t distribute it, but who knows. I'm sure at the least they will use it to do their own solicitations.
