Microsoft Sidewinder Gaming Control Software 4.0

First and foremost, this is the first stick I've had since the Microsoft sidewinder pro and in the well over decade I used it, it never failed me. Fast forward 10 years and getting back into space/flight sims and the t16000m hotas is great. In the 3 or 4 weeks I've had with it, I've yet to run into any issues and seems to be built well enough to handle years of abuse. There are tons of buttons, most of which are extremely easy to get to in an instant. I wish there were more buttons on the stick but that's the only complaint I've had so far. That being said, the throttle has a ton of buttons too, all of which are easily accessible without moving off of it. All in all, it's a great hotas with a solid build, plenty of features and a great price.

Good system. Requires software purchase agreement with Microsoft. A hidden cost.

There's not much to say here, its the sidewinder and its rock solid, has a versatile collection of tools in it.

dont need pcie 4.0. don't need 7000mb/s speeds. just decent enough to make a huge difference if you're gaming and using premiere pro on and off. just right for the price.

It's a good little SSD, just an extra terabyte of storage for gaming on my laptop. Good speed, and I don't really have to worry about the thermal-issues that can arise from putting a 4.0/5.0 NVME in an enclosed laptop chassis. (The differences between 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 SSDs are negligible when it comes to everything besides transfer of large files)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Microsoft 365 gives me the software that I need for business and personal work.

Microsoft Office was easy to install and is the foundation of much of the work that I do. Having access to the software on my home computer during COVID-19 has been a real asset.

I bought this because I get all my tv over the air. Recording a show necessitates using the dvd recorder, and it's getting old, and is not truly reliable. This tv tuner worked as soon as I plugged it into the usb port on my computer. I hooked up to the coaxial cable from my attic antenna, and I get a better picture than I do on my regular tv. It picked up all the channels and using it with Microsoft Media Center is easy as pie. I like Microsoft Media Center better than the software that came with the device, but that software works OK as well. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to cut the cable and still have a personal video recorder.

I've been using Microsoft Surface laptops for personal and business use for years, and I've got no complaints. I like my hardware and software to be made by the same company so there's less bloatware. I don't use the laptop to game, edit videos, or anything intensive. (Unless you count having multiple tabs of Google Chrome open.) The machine runs smoothly. No complaints there. The angular metal exterior looks and feels great. It says professional without being as boxy as a ThinkPad.

This is the first security software beyond Microsoft Defender in quite a while. Today, it popped up a news article about the VA health website being hacked when I went to log in. Older antivirus software seemed to add so much overhead, I could hardly use the computer but this works quietly in the background and I have noticed no impact on speed.
