| Your crazy virtual instructorThe DVD includes many mock theory tests, hazard perception tests, a practical walk-through, and software updates. Hopefully they will update the hazard videos..
The best thing about the theory section is that the narrator's voice has proven very effective at helping me to learn. For example, when reviewing mistakes, I can click on the question to hear it and then click the answer to hear that - this creates an association between question and answer that is difficult to forget. Unfortunately, the software has a road sign test that automatically speaks the wrong answers..
The hazard perception part of the dvd could be improved. It is a series of videos driven by "your crazy virtual instructor" (I don't know if he really exists or where they sourced the videos from). Several times, I have had the opinion that the greatest hazard on the road is the virtual instructor because he drives too close to other cars. In Test 16, Question 10 ("Cardiff 6.wmv") he drives through a red light..
I didn't use the practical part.

| Has to be the best family tree software around!Family Tree Maker 2010 is PC software for storing and sharing your family tree, something that this product is extremely good at. Very similar to the 2009 version in concept, which was also excellent, but there have been some very notable improvements.
Going straight into the product itself, the main obvious difference is the user interface - it is very much improved and more intuitive than the 2009 version; navigation was so easy that I did not need to use the extensive on-line help. As before, entering details is very easy. There is a quick entry pane for adding new people and children of an individual, and if you select one of these, there is a further more detailed pane to add date of death, marriage(s) etc as well as media clips, notes and tasks. All in all, a very comprehensive list of attributes that can be added for an individual (dates of degrees, confirmation etc) plus you can add your own custom facts/notes too. You can then also print the details in a number of different, pre defined ways (charts and various different report types, too many to mention).
There is now much better connectivity with the web, plus there is a much improved location mapping system with the inclusion of new on-line maps (makes it seem much more complete and seamless). There is also direct connectivity to Ancestry.co.uk (with on-line registration), AND with the ability to merge results into your family tree. It almost removes the fun from searching for your family tree. Almost, but not quite, because you always want to dig more, and embellish the details you have with media files and notes.
As for the installation, this was straight forward and easy to register; this platinum version includes 6 months membership to ancestry.co.uk. Installation did not detect that I had a previous version (2009) and installed itself into a new 2010 folder, however, when run it notified me that there was an update available which quickly installed itself when I accepted this. Next, it did detect that I had an older version of Family Tree data files and asked me to back up these before conversion, which it did with no issues - all very neat and tidy.
Overall, this product is excellent and for a beginner or expert. I can thoroughly recommend this product.

| Be Warned...!!My 14-year old decided he couldn't do without this, and read all the reviews in advance, hoping that we'd get it to work without any problems. Too much to hope..!
First attempt gave no video preview at all, despite uninstalling/re-installing//updating drivers/clearing registry entries etc etc. Still got the standard "unable to connect" message. Wasted about 3 hours on the first day, with various configuration settings and options, but to no success. Tried again, still with no luck and had a pleasant online chat with a "Studio" support guy, who advised me that there was nothing he could do to help, as Studio 11 is not supported any more (you would have thought they might have told you that before buying) - he suggested I upgraded to a newer version!!! Another 3 hours of my life....
Eventually accepted defeat and sent it back. Immediate replacement from Amazon, and this time got a capture through AMCAP, but still couldn't get anything in Studio and could not record to any recognisable file format (and no sound). Attempted to capture with Movie Maker and that just froze the entire system, requiring a forced re-boot. Another 3 hours ....!!
Sent it back again, and excellent service from Amazon to get a credit note (which is fine, cus we'll use it).
So, still no real idea why it wouldn't work, although there seems to be a common "Dell" theme (maybe a card issue, but it did capture through AMCAP so more likely some sort of software conflict).
Bottom line, probably a great idea/product, but if you cannot afford the time to sort out what seems to be a far from plug'n'play product, then think again.
