So Far So Good: 4 stars!
Usually I have a if it ain't broke, don't fix it philosophy but decided to see if there were any updates/downloads. I went to the Symantec download sight. They said I was eligible for an update. I thought it would be an update to NIS 2006 but instead ended up getting and update to NIS 2008.
Installation took a while for this speedy laptop (like 10-15minutes). It went flawlessly and i have been running on it for an hour with no problems. I was not expecting a
free update. Maybe it is because of past problems with NIS 2006. The info just said i was eligible for an update with my current subscription.
I have been buying Dell pc's since day one and they all come with some sort of Norton software. To date I have not experienced the nightmares that some people have written about except for some ordering problems for some software that never came and it took many calls to get the problem resolved.
So far I have not noticed any degradation in boot time or performance. Like I said, the new software has only been running for a hour or so. My rating would be 4 stars for now only because there has not been a lot of run time.
