I keep getting sales emails from Stardock yet I do not see any forums listed under this product name.

Two questions:

1. Does this version eliminate or add to the advertisements I have to clear every time once it finally opens?

2. Would someone, Stardock and/or aShampoo preferably,  please provide a comparison of various performance stats (load and save times, etc.) comparing this new version 2 to the earlier version as well as to Adobe and other vendor  products?

Thank You!
