The product I recieved from Amazon was a very outdated version. It was approximately two to three years old. The version was so old I was not able to get an upgrade to a version that works with Vista. Fortunately, I found a very nice representative at NETGEAR that sent me a link to an upgrade. DO NOT PURCHASE UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THAT AMAZON HAS THE LATEST VERSION!!

If you are using Windows 7 (or planning on upgrading to Windows 7), this software is not going to work for you. This is old software (as others have noted). This software is VPN05L. For Windows 7 you need to buy the newer software VPNG05L. Fortunately, Amazon's return policy is very good so this didn't turn into an expensive mistake. However, Amazon should update the description so that other people don't fall into the same trap.

Amazon did a fine job of distributing this product, but sadly, the product and the support is a mess. I have very good IT support personnel who have spent far too many hours trying to manage this software and its associated hardware. Netgear's customer support, if you find a CS staff member who doesn't elect to hang up on you, seems generally unaware that they market a software product at all, let alone this specific product. Anticipate the level of support you could provide under those circumstances and act accordingly.

Stay away from this product. It requires a degree in network security to even understand its terminology. There's no "common settings" feature that would allow you to easily set it up with say, one of Netgear's own products, like the ProSafe VPN firewall that we tried to use it with. You have to understand every tiny detail of VPN operation to get it to work which we never ended up doing. And of course, the help is helpless.If you need an easy, small office VPN solution, pay for the Himachi service from LogMeIn which doesn't require any hardware and was easy to get working.

This software was not what I expected. It was an old version and could not be used with Windows 7. However, Amazon was terrific and they refunded my money ASAP. Be sure this is what you need/want before you buy it.

While Marilu's book offers fairly good advice on healthy eating and living habits, I found the explanations to be greatly lacking any sound scientific rationale. The author over-simplified the subject matter for my taste. This is not for someone with an analytical mind or with any kind of interest in nutritional science. It is a puff piece.
