 - If you have Vista - Don't bother.If you buy a NEW machine and it comes with Vista, DON'T buy this product. It may install on the new PC and even work with the HELP patch, but just try and get your own menus off of the old (under XP) PC on to the new box (with Vista). If you have spent hours and hours getting your recipes in to MC you will need to hang on to your old PC just to run MC. Not an pleasant option. If you have to re-enter all your recipes go find something else that is Vista compatible. BTW, requests to MC support only state that: "This title is not Vista compatible. The restore function is one of the features that Vista broke within Mastercook." So if you have Vista don't bother with this product. Rating:  - Couldn't ask for more!I absolutely love this software program! I have many old family recipes that I can enter into the "My Cookbook" option to update and make them healthy without changing the desired flavor or texture. You can also import recipes from your favorite internet sites. Rating:  - Great toolFantastic product did all it claimed. I really like the fact that I can track the nutritional value of all the recipes as well as scale out the recipe. The only downfall of this product is the learning curve to using it. Most of it is intuitive, but several important features (like your personal Cookbook) was not clear to me and rather complicated.. I eventually "got it" by playing around, and reading online helps. Rating: - Master cook deluxeMy goal purchasing the Mastercook Deluxe was to transfer my existing recipes to the program. I find I don't use the cookbooks given, but I mostly put in the recipes that I have. The down side is I have to manually enter the recipes rather than just transfer files. The positive side is that now my recipes are entered and I can include pictures and descriptions. There is an auto complete button that makes entering items easier. I would recommend anyone trying to organize recipes to use a computer program. Rating: - MasterCook DeluxeI am very pleased with the 9th edition of MasterCook. It is nice to know it is being updated from time to time after Sierra stopped publishing it. I am also glad it can be installed using Vista. I have had MasterCook for years and have added my own cookbook of nearly 650 recipes through time. It is very easy to use. I highly recommend it.
