sgornyI'm taking part in a Usability Study with Microsoft this Friday, and in return I get my pick of the following software titles. I'm not that familiar with some of them, and I'd like advice on which to get. Of course, I'd like to get them more expensive ones... but I really want something I might use.
Of course, I could get an expensive one, and sell it on eBay...
