It works great on a the client's desktop computer, but the laptop is just a waste of time. I cannot believe how buggy and worthless the user interface is for this software! I've used the Workstation and Server editions of the software for years and the interface is FAR SUPERIOR to this crap in ATIH 2010. Why do software vendors throw out the baby with the bathwater in trying to make a 'consumer friendly' version of their software, alienating otherwise happy customers!? BTW - FWIW - Windows backup won't do much good to restore programs and boot environment. That's where Acronis can really shine. I've restored countless servers over the years from Acronis backup and been up and running again in under an hour vs. 2-6 hours trying to restore from Windows backup.

He recommended going back to ATIH 2009, which always worked fine for me. I did go back to 2009 and now have no problems. I upgraded by OS to Windows 7 and ATIH 2009 still works fine.
