CNET does NOT say that Microstudio has a 20% failure rate. That just is not so. What it is saying is that 20% of those that voted gave it a thumbs down for whatever the reason.

If something has an 80% approval record, common math says that there's a 20% disapproval rating. Something on the software doesn't work for 20% of the people that's tried it. Who in their right mind would give a rating one way or another if they haven't tried it?
Of the 50 people that voted, that's not bad considering that most people just wash their hands of something and never vote.
I'm not saying it isn't a good product. It's just that it's worthless to me and that if I'd have known that it has to use their drive I'd either have passed on the software of would have waited and bought one of their drives.
