Cons Only seems to work well with Windows XP and the Support isn't great.

Recommended it? Yes

I've had my VC500 for over a year now and I've been mostly satisfied until it came time to upgrade my computer. But to start off, I'll give a general overview of this product and why it is so easy to use.
