"This is a smart tool to use before purchasing windows 7"
Pros
easy to use

a smart way to find out if your system can handle Windows 7
"Does basic problem determination, HW/SW, device/SW."
"Does basic problem determination, HW/SW, device/SW."
Pros
Points out what could be potential problems with hardware/drivers and application software running under Windows 7.
Cons
Responses can be vague. Points to potential problems. Insufficient and incomplete in pointing out the actions necessary in avoiding Windows 7 installation. Tells u only to contact manufaturer.
Summary
It could be a very useful product if it would assist you in determining if you will have installation problems and how to avoid them. Nice to run to check especially if there are no anticpated problems. In my judgment not very helpful in providing meaningful information to avoid installation problems.
