Pros: Offers quick access to viewing, printing, and managing 225+ types of files from within your Web browser; perfect, must-have utility for working with a file when you lack the native application for that file; new company, new lower price tag ($35 compared to $49 under Jasc)
Cons: Although darn close, it's not an all-in-one plug-in — QVP lacks support for some formats such as Shockwave and Flash. QVP doesn't always offer the performance and/or management capabilities of some standalone applications, especially in terms of viewing/managing images.
