The tutorial is more complicated than the converter and it is meant for windows 7 and not for lower version.
The converter utility available before transition to the present service provided was good enough and all of us were very well used to it. Then what was the necessity to meddle with it? The lighter version could have been tested and released earlier, without putting so many of us to trouble. Any thing from the Government or its agencies means complication only. Let us see how much trouble this one is going to give.
