If it's buggy and crappy then I won't go thru the hassle of filling out the forms and entering all my personal info.
If it's good then I will.

I wont try it either. iMovie works great, and I don't like files strewn about the system that I don't know what they do.
I like a proper-behaving app, 1 click, 1 icon. Drag to install.

it looks like it has the more complicated interface of advanced editors, but with the feature set of iMovie, which doesn't make for good software. I think that, for starting users, the interface will turn them off to it, and for more advanced users, the feature set will have the same effect. The only people i can see using it are people who want to see if they're 'ready to step up' to a more expensive program, but even then it's more for trial purposes than to actually use the program extensively. of course, this is all speculation as i haven't actually tried the program. in either case, i think i'll stick to final cut express.

During the install I get a second authentication dialog from an app called "validate" that asks for my password again. The password is just shown on the screen, which seems pretty shoddy. Anyway, even if I do enter the info, nothing happens. Anyone else have troubles?

No problems here getting it installed on 10.2.8, but when I launch it, it bounces in the dock a few times and just quits.

Indeed. And I used a mailinator email address. 
Still haven't bothered installing it yet. Downloaded as I'm mainly curious.

It will take more than that... after I start getting those pr0n adds in my mail box...
I've become very allergic to giving my e-mail address to random companies.

hrmm... you only have one email address. that is so 1995.
set up a hotmail account for this type of stuff or something.
edit: didnt know avid was in the pr0n business
besides VEGAN, you need to submit the forums to get yo'self an access code.

Yes, but if you remove the kernel extensions - the app won't run. At least it wouldn't for me no matter what I did.

Used it, but here's what:
1. iMovie is much simpler and easier to use. Thanks, I am with it for small movies
2. FCE is miles ahead although I dont own it
3. I own FCP 4 and that is the best piece of software I ever used, much much better than Avid Express DV 3.5 retail
Thanks for tip to uninstall the Avid free version.
