I have one and use it often.  The scope works well, the control program
is frustrating but usable.  The program is slow, eats a lot of CPU time
even when doing nothing, and sometimes crashes for no apparent reason.
I guess this is typical of consumer software, but certainly isn't what I
associate with professional instruments (although now that Agilent scopes
run under MS-Windows XP, that may change).

I have not measured its accuracy, but have not seen any reason to doubt
it.

Overall a good product for the price, and since I use a computer already
for developing embedded devices, requires little added desk area.
