This is an interesting product with lots of features, and I think it's worth installing while it's free, but personally I wouldn't pay for it. The biggest problem is that it's going up against IE's MHTML export abilities, which have been around for many years, and Windows Search 4's search and Explorer preview abilities (and Windows Explorer thumbnails). It's also going up against more versatile proprietary-database products like Evernote. Microsoft's solutions do have their problems. MHTML export can fail, doesn't export the original URL, and the MHTML iFilter is defective. UnMHT for Firefox and other browsers is better than IE's MHTML export (there's no reason why UnMHT couldn't support IE). MetaProducts Inquiry has numerous features, but some of them don't seem very useful. Saving Flash files isn't something I normally need to do. Saving Images could be useful in rare cases for saving multiple images at once, although webpage images are frequently just thumbnails, and better solutions are available to save the originals. MetaProducts Inquiry can export from its database as well as saving the current webpage directly to MHTML (and other formats), but again, UnMHT is better. The ability to automatically save while browsing could be useful occasionally, but I prefer to select which pages and fix unavailable titles manually. If I merely need to track what I've been browsing recently, IE's History by Order Visited Today, and TimeSnapper Pro have me covered. If you like all-in-one products with proprietary databases, this is good, but again, there are several products which do much more, like Evernote.

On the face of it this program would appear to have very similar functionality to the freeware Canaware Netnotes http://www.canaware.com/default.aspx?page=b26f1a87-b934-4a94-ba4a-a317c78c9eb5&pagenum=1

With Canaware you can similarily;
Save pages via a right click context menu entry in IE and Firefox.
Edit saved pages
Canaware can also be used as a conventional tree based note taking program - maybe it is there in Inquiry but I have not found it yet.

Another excellent research tool to save/edit/cite web pages is the firefox add-on Zotero http://www.zotero.org/
(firefox only I'm afraid)

Vista and higher users should right-click Activate and Run as Administrator. Use the About box under the Help menu to check registration. I have comments, but I have something else to do right now so I'll post them later.

When you open the "About Metaproducts Inquiry" under the help tab it initially tells you that you are on day 1 of a 30 day trial.

Closedown and restart the program and this statement disappears.

I assume that further registration of any sort is not required.
