Sure!

First thought: How do you mean UK software? I see only one program 
that's actually made in England, I think, and that's Family Historian.

As always. I run Gramps and RootsMagic on Linux, and Ancestral Quest, 
and Legacy.

Do you? I'm a PC guy, although I started with a ZX-81, followed by an 
Acorn Electron, and an Atari ST.

Some other things:

They didn't test Ancestral Quest, which I think is quite popular.

They're quite negative about RootsMagic, and don't mention that it has a 
free version, which is something that they do mention for Legacy.

What I do like is that they're quite honest about things, like Legacy 
looking outdated. It looks like a mess to me, and if they'd tested 
Ancestral Quest, I bet that they'd say that's outdated too. It's like 
PAF on the wrong steroids.

That's my € 0,02.

Cheers,

Enno
