I don't know about you, but I'd be just a bit careful about installing "free" software from some outfit in the middle of China. What's included in their installer package to offset giving it away for free? Maybe it's okay, but I'll let others here try it out first.

Interesting points you have made.
I just downloaded it, but now, I will also wait to install it.
Thanks for the input.
