As
you can see by reading this review (despite a few minor inconveniences here
and there), the Microsoft Photo Viewer is overall a very good product. By
having floppy disks as the media for the presentation as well as not
requiring the device to be connected to the computer adds to the convenience
gained by using this product. It is very simple to use so even the most
novice users could take advantage of its features with ease (and I think
that was the point Microsoft intended). The software gets the job done by
offering very simple options to edit the features, and advanced users can
opt to install Microsoft Picture It! Express to edit pictures further.
Consumers as well as businesses can take advantage of the presentation
features thus justifying Microsoft’s debut into the digital market with the
Microsoft Photo Viewer and I hope to see more innovation products from
Microsoft in the future.
