Which PC Flightplanning Software EFB Would You Recommend?

Ah, so you have an anti-MS bias. That's OK as long as people realize it
when reading your posts saying that just because something is built on x
technology it must be inferior/slow/poorly designed/what-have-you.

It's kinda like saying "that plane can't possibly be any good because it has
a Lycoming engine." Or "it uses a G1000". Or, perhaps most accurately,
"it's made by Cessna/Piper/Cirrus/Lancair."

Incidentally, I began my career as a computer architect and
programmer when it was still necessary to build a room if you wanted a
computer and I
had an ARPAnet ID long before anyone realized what it would become. So I
do
have a bit of perspective about these things.

Then you should understand the value of consumer feedback. If you haven't
already, send the developers a note stating your observations on performance
and usability.

Unless, of course, you want them to fail - which is OK, too, really.

Actually, I did write an e-mail to them, explaining my problem (i.e.
Voyager brings my 256 MB PIIIM Sony Vaio to its knees, crawling to do
anything), but never received a reply from them.

As for Jeppesen, I had a friend who had the whole shabang installed
(JeppView, JeppStar, and FlightDeck). He finally went over to
FlightPrep back when it was still $350/yr incl. on-line and unlimited
updates. Jepp seemed pretty good, but could never find any information
on line about the new package. I finally called them, and they gave me
the "secret" URL http://www.jeppesen.com/navsuite. There it is! With
Great Lakes coverage, it come out to about $560/yr. That is now
cheaper than FlightPrep and includes paper LowAlt charts, but of course
is only Great Lakes, so don't go too far without a Trip Kit.

I am now trying to get AirPlan from RazorsEdge working, but keep
getting errors. They are working with me to fix it, though. We shall
see...
