Microsoft Digital Image Suite 10.0 review:3 stars (Work for smaller photos but not big) - This program is good for working with smaller size pictures (4 x 6 in). It's just working fine. No problem. However, once you work with large image, 10 x 8 in, it was so slow in my Pentium 4 PC (725MB RAM, 3 HD, regularly defragmented, WIndows XP Prof, and background programs turned off, see nothing from the Task Manager). Basically I have a canvas size 10 x 8 in, 300 dpi resolution with several JPG pictures (1-2 MB size each) in it. When you crop the JPG or work with magic wand, the program runs very sluggish. It made me frustrated to wait 60 seconds for each activity. Note that although I have to wait for a while, the result (print out) of the images are very good and super. It's just the waiting time is very annoying.5 stars (excellent, easy to use) - i had adobe photoshop elements 2.0 before purchasing this product. (don't buy adobe's - buy this one if you are still deciding.) Microsoft's digital image suite blows adobe's product away... much easier to use, plus easy photo organizer, and easy printing setup. All the effects and filters that photoshop elements has (plus more features), plus you get a better bargain.4 stars (DVD Photo Story update) - Although the DI Suite 10.0 will create video stories on Video CDs (VCD), a free upgrade to Photo Story is available at: http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/offers/details.aspx?displaylang=en&OfferId=7AC8A932-68A5-4147-B303-9C3456DAE568

I have used this product on a fresh install of Windows XP and an upgraded XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2). The product works great on both systems and the ease of use makes this a wonderful product with an overabundance of features for a good price.

Maybe miamimeg will increase his review points based on the free update...
