I have just downloaded the free [standard] version of Legacy because members have been saying how good it is.

Personally, I've had a go, and I'm not impressed - I have Family Tree Maker, and can find nothing in Legacy which would make me want to change from FTM. I find FTM to be very easy to use, and not complicated in any way, and I shall continue.
I appreciate other GR members may lean towards Legacy for other reasons.. The free version has many buttons which cannot be used - unless you purchase the full version of Legacy 6 - this is a shame, because you cannot use the full prog before you purchase.
I think a full version free 30 day trial use would have been more appropriate.
