I'm highly suspicious of any software review that seems all happy happy joy joy.
I want to know what's wrong with it, and that's what I look for first. If I don't find any, I immediately write it off as slanted and unrealistic. All software has problems and if the reviewer didn't mention it, he either didn't want to for whatever reason, or he didn't test it enough to be qualified to write a review, IMO.
I do the same when I buy hardware at Newegg, too. I first read all the negative reviews and work my way up to the positive.
