My problem was never the usefulness of the software, it was more the packaging. Changing the format to include 10 tracks when all you really need is a couple was really unappealing. Especially when you could buy them one at a time previously. The software itself is awesome, unfortunately my old computer didn't have the graphic horsepower to handle it (worked fine until they updated to the newer version). So I quit playing for a while. Then when I got a new computer, I tried to install it and all my tracks were locked and found out you had to buy the 10 track package. This after buying a rather expensive usb adapter that was out of stock for months. Needless to say I was not happy.
I am happy to see though, that they have listened to those of us who thought this way, and they responded by offering a 2 track price with Oslo free and another track of your choice. Plus a 6 month on-line racing license. This is going at 29 dollars.
Now if they can work out the Windows Vista bugs I'll be racing on my lunch break at work.
