"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."

"There is room for improvement in stability."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."
