• AWFUL! Don't risk it!

  Pros

  It's free.

  Cons

  Doesn't work and won't uninstall.

  Summary

  Where do I start? After downloading I couldn't get the dropdown menu to work, and therefore couldn't customise it. I ended up with a static screen of tiny stars which was unresponsive. I decided to uninstall it - this was impossible, and even my McAfee security system couldn't shred it. I then tried simply changing the wallpaper, but whatever I chose reverted to DeskNite within seconds. I eventually had to run System Restore to get rid of it. It was a total waste of time. Don't touch it with a bargepole.

• Way cool!

  Pros

  If you've ever wondered "what star is that?", this is a cost-effective way yo find out without shelling out cash. The default settings display a good rendition of the night sky at your location, and the toolbar lets you choose your orientation.

  Cons

  The guide only gives general information on the functions, so be prepared to play with the controls. You mignt need a book on astronomy to get a better grasp of the terms used. The Sky Driver toolbar is accessible from the system tray, but it was only by accident I discovered the right-click menus that allow fine-tuning of the display.

  Restricted installation options. Fills your desktop with more ad's than stars.
