I wondered if anyone was using this program. I got it with a recent upgrade to the Office 2007 Home and Student version, but it is a very confusing program with all of the tabs. I thought it would be useful for entering genealogy information into as well as my writings, but it seems like it's more of a scaled-down version of Word or a layout program.
However, I can see it could be useful for life stories and adding photos. I just hate the tabs all over the place and can't get a grip on it. It seems to bring a new meaning to disorganization. I think if you buy it individually it's pretty cheap (under $50 if you want to call that cheap). It's also included in the Home and Student version of MS Office and MS Access.

Something I've just started using (since getting WIN7) is OneNote by Microsoft. It was loaded on the computer & is just great. I've named one of the notebooks "Genealogy" and have folders for the main names, then pages for individuals. You can write stories, add pictures or scans. And side notes to anything. For instance, I came across a receipt from 1941 that was for the wedding rings & engagement rings that my father-in-law bought for his wedding. I've scanned that in, added a note about where the rings are now & what I did with the receipt. There is a pen mode for freehand writing & drawing...your can add audio & video files... really handy program. I use it for a lot of things.
