"No Hassle. No Hitch. No Frustration."
Pros: Integrates as if a part of the Windows system. No Frustrations.
Cons: Not as many adminitrative features as competitors.
Summary: PAIN FREE. To date, I have installed WOCL on 10 systems. I have been using it for four to five months. It has been as smooth and out-of-the way as I was expecting being an integrated Microsoft program (for all intents and purposes). Also, after uni... read more >>

"Worst experience with a software, ever!"
Pros: All in One, if you can make it work
Cons: 1. Terrible support. 2. Sometimes it takes too long to open.
Summary: Don't be misled. You would buy this software thinking that since is a Microsoft, is best for your computer and also thinking that you would get support 24/7, as they advertise....WRONG! I have been trying to make this thing work on
