I have been happily using Trend Smart Surfing since it was in beta. This is a great product!
I have been a Mac user for the past 7 years; and, can definitely say that this is the best anti-virus product that I've ever tried on the Mac.
Trend Micro is a very well respected company for Windows anti-virus protection; especially, in the corporate enterprise.
I am very happy to see Trend Micro enter the Mac world. Welcome!
Trend Smart Surfing has a very clean, intuitive, well-designed interface. Trend Smart Surfing runs with a very small footprint... very low overhead. It doesn't slow down my Mac like Norton or VirusBarrier did.
Burned by OpenOffice
OpenOffice.org is a mediocre alternative to Microsoft Office for some tasks.
Cons:
No OS level file locking support
Poor tab support in Word documents
Poor cell formatting behavior in Excel spreadsheets
I got burned by OpenOffice. I stuck my neck out as an IT administrator in my company and made a suggestion to use OpenOffice as an alternative to Microsoft Office in order to save money. Management at my company liked the idea and went along with it; half of the company opted to use OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Office… we made it a voluntary thing. Anyway, a year later, with the release of OpenOffice.org 3.0, we start running into many problems that have been identified, and there doesn't seem to be any initiative to resolve these issues by the developers.
Now, we are back to Microsoft Office only as our corporate standard; and, we have purchased several new licenses of Microsoft Office for everyone.
If you're thinking about bringing it into your company to save a little money; my advice: don't waste your time…. buy Microsoft Office.

Microsoft didn't pay me anything to write a negative review of OpenOffice.
OpenOffice failed miserably all by itself... without any help from Microsoft.
The various good reviews don't really mean anything to me; I'm more concerned with actual results... in real world scenarios. OpenOffice = FAIL.
I've been using PasswordWallet for the past 6-7 years. It is light. It is elegant. It is clean... It is perfect. I've tried other password manager apps that I've rec'd in software giveaways and bundles, but nothing beats PasswordWallet, and I always come back to it.

I can't appreciate your comment. We didn't realize any cost savings.
I'm glad to see that you love OpenOffice so much. Good for you.
