 - john's rosetta stoneso far so good. i am really liking the product. i only wish i had more time to spend on it. Rating:  - beware of 1GHZ speed requirementAlthough this requirement is not listed on the box, your computer needs to have at least 1 GHZ speed in order for the oral components to work properly. Otherwise, you will have major glitzes in these lessons and will finally, in frustration, skip them altogether. And, since I did not check this out until after the 30-day period with Amazon, I contacted Rosetta Stone directly to ask for a refund as they are the ones who left this critical requirement off the front of the box. Rosetta Stone refused to give me a refund, but simply suggested that I purchase a newer computer. Rating:  - Vista/Rosetta StoneI agree completely with Andrew Mullen. If you're using Windows Vista DO NOT buy Rosetta Stone. Larry Flowers explained in a previous post a very lengthy way to correct the errors. 1. If you're paying over $300.00 for a program it should install seamlessly since Rosetta Stone claims it's Vista compatible. 2. I installed all the updates as Larry explained and contacted Rosetta Stone Tech support over six times. They even sent me TWO new CD'S.The program would still not install. I wonder when Rosetta Stone will wise up and update their program. I'm certain all new computers will come pre-installed with Vista. Rating:  - When will they have 64 bit compatibility?For being one of the largest - if not the largest - language learning software company, Rosetta Stone should make a XP 64bit version. I have not ran into software compatibility problems in quite a while (non-language software), as most programs offer a 64 bit compatible version. I have read so many good reviews that I went ahead and installed the program on my room mates computer. I have not used any other programs to compare this too. Only time will tell how well it works. Rating:  - Rosetta Stone - Good ProgramWe purchased the Rosetta Stone to become more proficient in Spanish -- it's a good product, there's just one problem, you must be at your computer to use the program. I wish I could sync to Ipod, to use while working out or for my husband, he has a 30-40 minute commute and would like to use it in the car. But since the program is interactive, the computer really is needed. Oh well, otherwise, it's a good tool. A.Ramirez
