Product:

iTunes

Version: 7.3

Better than what Yahoo did to Music Match JB

Pros: Easy to use and convenient. Free. Doesn't push ads in your face for the iTunes marketing. Many nice features like having presorts for most played songs or highest rated. User interface well thought out.

The guy above should switch to Linux. He hates both MS and Apple, but his rating is out of line just because he chose to use an OS that doesn't support much of anything other than a few workstation apps. The Win64 API hasn't even been optimized by MS as yet to take proper advantage of 64 bit processing. MS isn't making that move until the next OS, leaving the very few that are using Win64 with nothing other than access to some extra RAM. If MS doesn't give it much serious support, then how can one crab at Apple about the MS Win64 not having compatibility with Windows apps?

Cons: Doesn't have DFX to broaden sound capabilities. Yahoo has turned Music Match into a scab to collect user info for their super linked database, and in your face marketing nusiance campaigns. Apple should liscense and integrate DFX or at least allow them to attach to iTunes.

Product:

X-Plane

Version: 8.6

Excellent Sim for any Flight Sim buff

Pros: Realistic as it gets for a PC. Gives the sense of true flight dynamics. User can design and fly their own aircraft designs. Aircraft design tools make it a breeze to create any aircraft you can imagine. Visually stunning if your PC has the horsepower. Even has a Mars sim for flying in another planetary environment. If you like MS Flight Sim X even a little, this is a must have. It gives you even more. It is easy to get started with, and allows the user to get as challenging as desired. Arcade levels to full true flight dynamics are available. Plenty of aircraft models from the programmers and other users available. They even hold design competitions for the best designs.

Cons: Not really a con, but huge load for the entire package. Eats up HD space when all areas are loaded, but what did you expect for having the planet in the database. Not to worry though, you can load selected land areas if your system is limited.
