Strengths: Offering a solution is a strength
Weaknesses: Delivering the solution by uncommon means (including use of a 3rd party product) should be avoided. The author may like and use the 3rd party product (µTorrent), but should not impose it on everyone. For one thing (aside from having to find/install/setup/use a new application) this new application opens up a two way linkage to from the users PC. I've already said I wouldn't want to force a user to adopt a new product just to get another new product, but I definately would not want to leave them after a one time use of that product with an exploitable connection that could be a risk to them.
Overall Evaluation: I never got to use the product, it became to cumbersome and potentially risky to try and get there from here for reasons covered above. PC Word should screen for and ask their submitters to stick to an out in the open standard and not force any 3rd party application (aside from unzip).

Strengths: Free - Exceedingly usefull if your Vista machine crashes!
Weaknesses: Have to download and burn an ISO image to a blank CD/DVD disk, using uTorrent's bitTorrent clien software. Can be challenging for the novice user...but...DETAILED instructions can be found on the download website.
Overall Evaluation: Snoops does not know what he/she is talking about regarding Windows XP. This is a very valuable tool when needed to recover from a system malfunction, especially in Windows Vista. Please carefully review all the data and referenced on the download website. You have to download a "pointer" file that itself will later enable you to download the actual IOS image to be burned to CD/DVD. It's complicated but woth the effort!

Strengths:
Weaknesses: Cannot be downloaded on an XP machine
Overall Evaluation: If you need this file it looks like you'll have to download it on a Vista machine, do it before you need it, don't wait until after you need it because if you have an XP machine and a Vista machine and your Vista machine goes down, you won't be able to download it on an XP machine to burn to disc. It doesn't tell you it can't be downloaded onan XP machine, either.
