It's the same dude, Michael Muchmore who also reviewed PD11 and 12 for PC magazine, he said exactly the same thing about PD12. Look about 10 inches down and 4 inches to the right for CONS. Here is the link: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2424347,00.asp .The pros, cons, and bottom line is copied verbatim from the PD12 review to the PD13 one. I don't know if he meant unwanted software such as quicktime, smartsound, and wave editor, or he meant the trial versions of audiodirector, colordirector, etc. He may have got the powerdirector installer from a place like cnet downloads which tried to install malware. Let us know if the powerdirector installer tried to install unwanted software on your pc.
