Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing Deluxe 16 review:1 stars (They were right - not XP compatible) - Even after reading about issues with XP from other reviewers, I decided to go with Mavis Beacon simply because the competing typing software is even worse. I also could not believe that Broderbund would be this outdated - or misleading.

Wrong. This product will not install under Windows XP SP2. AutoPlay brings up an unresponsive installer, prompting an error report every time. The Start > Run command (recommended by the install instructions) results in absolutely nothing.

So I installed it on my aging Windows ME system, and it ran without a problem.

Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 16 Deluxe is probably the only thing Windows ME can do better than XP.1 stars (Stay away from Broderbund software) - I wish I could give them zero stars.

Broderbund pulled support for software I owned only 2 years after it was released.

I was unable to install it because it required internet registration which was no longer supported. To solve the problem, they offered to SELL me a different software title.

They must have thought I was stupid. They expected me to give them more money???

This company has second rate software and third rate customer service. Do not buy anything from them.1 stars (Poor design) - Clearly, Broderbund always sinks their budget into marketing, not software development. What do you end up with? Vaporware.

Do not pay over $19 and it should be worth the money.
