Using Software Reviews

I read a blog post last week that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. This blog said that the 2007 version of a major personal finance software package would not be worth upgrading to. Being that the major players in personal finance software haven't yet released the 2007 versions of their software, the blogger could not, and did not, back up this claim. I immediately discounted what I read, but I wondered if it could be possible that some folks may be swayed by reading the blogger's comments.

Remember that while you can glean some useful information from online software reviews, consumer comments and blog posts, you need to be aware that a lot of people publishing this information have an agenda and may not present fair and objective information.
