"Good stuff. It really works!" At first, I thought maybe the publisher put some tools together because they are not so good individually, yet I admit I was wrong. In fact, some of them are quite helpful to me. Now I use its file compression tool, batch renamer and backup tool instead of my old ones.

"Awesome!" I can easily change any tab from folder to web page and vice versa. It offers two kinds of folder: first is tabbed folder with menu-like address bar, which is fancy to me, from which I can choose any layer to enter; second is tree folder, this one is more traditional. For me, I think they really take care of users by providing both ways.

"A fine combination of explorers" As a windows explorer replacement, it's excellent; as an ie replacement, some parts of it is cool. From browser perspective, it doesn't offer any plug-ins.

Excellent program! It exceeds my expectations totally. Give it a try.

"Superior software!" I can easily finish my work in one UI. Every function works smoothly, esp. web page e-mailer. That is my favorite. More browser functions will be better.

Nicely done, but I find the mixture of a web browser and a file browser very awkward and odd. There should be an easy way to switch off either. Neither function is very powerful. The browser needs tab groups, and the file browser needs filtering, among other things. It has s very attractive GUI, except for some weird little icons that have no obvious meaning. If it were portable, I would play with it until I become familiar with it. Too bad it isn't.

This is a nicely done software. Thanks to my friend Louis, i started using a couple of months ago. Since then, i use it every day. Granted that i am hoping that it can include some more software i need, it has already covered a great deal of what i need!

"Suits my needs the best!" I can always use parts of the tools it offers. Can't think of one so far. I use it to manage files, visit websites, and backup my important data. Ever since installed, It has been the best companion of my laptop and desktop!

I find this combination of browser and file manager awesome, not to mention a box of extra tools. On top of these, I enjoy ubiquitous drag and drop the most.

This software really makes great use of mouse. Not only files and subfolders can I drag and drop, I can also drag and drop tabs. Moreover, I can scroll up/down to switch tabs, which is the function I haven't found in any browsers or file managers so far.

"A good backup tool as well" I can easily set up quite a few backup projects; each can contain several scheduled backup time. The best part is I can preview content of each backup point before restoring. The backup tool is part of professional edition. In this free eition, only 60 days of trial period is granted. After that, without a key, I will not be able to use it. At first, I didn't pay much attention to its backup function, but once I started using it, I like it.

I have no clue at all why bobad said, "The browser needs tab groups, and the file browser needs filtering, among other things." It already has these funcitons!

"Ambitious but practical" It's well designed. Some tools contained are quite useful. I see nothing wrong with this program. What more can you ask for?

It has some interesting features, but it's very awkward. Combining a web browser and file manager results in neither working fluidly. The web browser needs more tab group functions. It's very annoying to open a group of tabs and the previous group don't automatically close. A simple icon to switch between file browser and web browser would be nice. A spell checker would also be nice. This program definitely has potential, and I'll be watching for future releases.

Novel range of functions in the one product, all of which worked well, except.... ... some problems importing favourites and also downlaoding and opening attachments.

Its about time a browser can go from the hard drive to the web instantly. Faster than IE8 and Firefox Renamer is a drag. To bad this tool is a trial version. It was not stated on CNET. I love the browser. Everything I need is right there. Some cool extra tools included. I may just have to purchase.

File management/handling features are good. Directory navigation is intuitive but can be an overload sometimes. It seems to be CPU hungry and hence is sluggish. Certainly worth a trial.

nice idea to bundle apps auto sets itself as default browser, all url inks automatically associated with Risingware,no choices offered not my cup of tea
