I bought this for my 6-yr old after picking up an old version at a garage sale that would not save his scores on Windows XP. He likes it, and begs to practice his typing that has improved fairly quickly. I tried it a bit in training mode to do exercises as I don’t quite touch type and liked how it shows which finger to use to type the next letter so you don’t have to look at the keyboard.
Note this was written back when screens were 640×480 and barely updated since. the window is still stuck at that size, and it will not run if the CD is not in the drive, even if you copy the whole CD to your hard drive and install from there. When this was advertised as the XP/Vista version I hoped it would have lost these limitations.

My 10 year old son would spend hours playing (actually learning and practicing typing) if I let him. His typing/keyboarding has improved in a very short time.

I think you need the Windows 95 or something like that, which I didn’t realize when I bought it. This CD didn’t work for us how it was supposed to, some things were upside down or something like that, I just gave it away to the library, it was totally useless to me.
