Pros
It's a fun program to work with, admittedly, but not enough to make up for the negative.
Cons
Adware and messes with your browser settings and your audio and video settings.
Summary
As others have pointed out, this comes bundled with a bunch of adware and the terms and conditions are deceptive in how they're presented, making it look like you're repeatedly accepting to install Hammerhead when you're actually accepting the installation of all these other programs as well.
Not only that, but this software completely messed up my audio and video playback to the extent that I had to do a system restore to get them back to normal.
Pros
easy to use
Cons
limited interface
Summary
this does work on newer versions of windows, just open as administrator and press enter when the black box appears until a dotted line appears around the "groovy" then click it, then it should work
Pros
I downloaded something altho I couldn't get HammerHead up and running, plus I got some software that took over my browser, installed a toolbar and other goodies.
Cons
Adds bad software to your computer
Pros
None. None. Ten characters.
Cons
Installed 6 other toolbars/programs I did not want or ask for. Usually with there is an obvious way to de-select such "options." Wiped out my browser home page. Difficult to get rid of the toolbar. WARNING!
Took 20 minutes to uninstall all the unwanted garbage.
Hopefully nothing else was installed that I can't see.
Pros
None, this is just for great demo's!
Cons
Since the guy that made Hammerhead was hired by Steinberg the development og Hammerhead never updated, the Steinberg program that I'm interested in that he made was called BeatBox.
Summary
I've been using Hammerhead Shark since Win 98 and it works in newer Windows only if you apply the Run as Administrator tab in properties. Don't run without checking the box, right click the hammerhead icon---properties---check, run as administrator.

Thank you! I've been using Hammerhead for YEARS, but could not get it to work since switching to 64-bit. Finally got it to work again by 'running as admin'.
Thank you thank you thank you!
Pros
it might work for you, if not there's so many better options out there at an affordable price
Cons
did not use this for more than a half hour
Summary
I would rather pay for something a little more commercially available, much better options out there.
Pros
None. could not access
Cons
Cnet didn't flag this. Caused me to have to restore my entire system to get rid of the black box in the middle of my screen
Summary
Leave it.
Pros
Simple. Clear. Usable.
Cons
Limited to 4 turns.
Pros

Cons

Summary
If you get this, don't freak out. Just ctrl-alt-del to open task manager and stop the program. Easy. Now breathe.
Pros
Could not say because program would not start.
Cons
Could not start the program using Windows 7 - 64 bit after the installation completed.
