Software Reviews of Microsoft Streets and Trips 2008 [OLD VERSION]

Customer Review: Microsoft Streets & Trips 2008
Summary: 1 Stars

I am VERY DISSATISFIED with this package of software. I have used older versions of the same software for years, and needed this new version to plan our trip across the country. But I have installed it twice, and cannot get the software to OPEN. I click, I try commands and cannot open the software to use it. I finally deleted it and reinstalled my 2005 version. Could there be something wrong with this package???????

Customer Review: Not better than the 2005 Version
Summary: 3 Stars

I bought this because I was hoping for updated maps and additional features. I find that the program startup now takes 3-4 times as long as the 2005 version. It seems that Microsoft is checking in to see if you are a registered legal owner before the initialization finishes. The product otherwise seems largely the same as the 2005 version. The newest sections of my neighborhood are still not on the map, consequently, it creates a longer route. Honestly, Google Maps, Mapquest and the like have the same problems. Anyway, I feel like I was ripped off because I got almost nothing new for my money.

Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars

I am somewhat disappointed in this version. I have been buying this product every year since 2003 except for 2007 when I couldn't find a copy. I don't notice very much of a difference between this versions information and the 2006, I don't see that many new roads in areas that I know have new roads (since 2006). This version has more security features, read that as only being able to load it on 2 computers, takes a LOT longer to load. Takes a long time to come up when you want to use the program. I prefer using the 2006 that I have on the companies laptop.

Customer Review: Activation is a problem
Summary: 1 Stars

I have several older versions of Streets ending in 2006, and the new activation scheme is a real killer for me. It is far easier to use Google (for free) and a Garmin (with custom poi addins). Save your money.

Customer Review: I don't think so !!
Summary: 1 Stars

I came to this site specifically to purchase MS Streets and Trips 2008. After learning that I can only use it on one computer, I have changed my mind. Like many working/traveling people, I create my routes, maps etc on a desk top at home and use them on a laptop on the road. The one computer restriction is very inconvenient for me and a deal breaker.

I am off to research "Plan B"

Thank you, everyone, for writing the very informative reviews. You have saved me a little money and a lot of hassle.
