It looks like the Deluxe and Platinum versions come with a DVD that has digital copies of genealogy reference books while the Essentials version does not. The Deluxe has 10 books and the Platinum has 15. I am not sure if these are worth the upgrade or if they are available for free online anyway. Anyone know?

I have W8.1, have no way of knowing how it does on antiquated systems. Suggest you contact the game maker for that info.

Ask Apple or a Genius. I didn't know there was an nfr version. I have the Logic Studio. A friend got the upgrade and had problems loading but perservered with Genius help.There haven't been any updates for quite a while. What's that mean?

I think this is the trail version of Microsoft office, but I'm really not positive. This is my husband's laptop, so I haven't been using it, and he uses it most for composing music, doing soundtracks, etc.

In my own experiance, I suffered major data corruption, and many fact fields did not copy at all. I strongly recommend upgrading to Family Tree Maker v16 instead, it works perfectly with my 24,000 records with no issues what-so-ever.

From friends of mine who've had both (and also advised me to purchase this product. The number of upgrades are quite numerous and some of the best ones are subtle (like huge improvements to the interaction of strokes to emulate a real brush/pen feel for example.) From where I am sitting, I would say that it is very much worth the upgrade. In case you're still curious as to what all is actually different, here's a link to a list of what each version has. http://manga.smithmicro.com/comparison.html

I have both versions available. Sorry for the confusion on the description I will change it as soon as possible.

It is the actual full version of Pro Tools version 11. My daughter had earlier version that would not upgrade to ver. 11, so she needed the stand alone version. She is very happy with it, and got it at a reduced rate. Hope this helps.

Good day Jemaul ! To be honest with you. It'd better if you take your time and find a cheap deal on the hardware, then get a "Student Edition" of the full software for cheap. Thatt's how I did it when I went into Pro Tools 10.

Yes Susan, depending on which version, this should be a full version for this release. I use FCP7 which includes Motion 4, Soundtrack Pro, and some other tools that will help you create movies. I have not felt the need yet to update to FCPX. Although price will make a big difference too. The newer versions are often cheaper. Good luck with which ever way you go.

3.0 is the best, it took me a long expensive while to find a new disk, 4.0 isn't bad, both by same authors. After that nothing communicates with past versions, and commands are horrible. Problem is, need to find compatibility mode to run, Bouderbund needs to get the ORIGINAL guys back together to write a new version of 3.!!!

Version 10 should run fine on Win8. I have a Win8 box that I recently installed a lot of XP vintage software on and have had no issues. I was using 10 but switched to Essentials 2012 because of issues with merging web info with my tree. Ancestry support told me what I was seeing was a known issue and would likely not be corrected. They suggested I upgrade because the latest version doesn't have the problem and so far it has been fine. I'm still running Essentials 2012 on my XP box because that is where my files are but I'll eventually reinstall and move everything to the Win8 machine.

HI, Sorry to say I do not know. I think I've used both unknowingly and there is no difference in general, is my experience. I also use Verbatim and I am pleased with their discs as well. Hope this info helps.

Platinum hits has an extra video or a special skater to unlock. Not really worth it. Skate 3 is just about the same .
