And here's a review on the Internmediate version:

The Focus on Grammar series provides extensive English grammar practice through a great variety of reading, writing and listening activities. Four levels are available: Basic,Intermediate, High-Intermediate and Advanced. Each level is sold separately.

This ESL software is suitable for self-directed learning and also as an extension to regular classwork - students can use it outside class to practice areas where they may have problems, or to improve their skills. The software is also suitable as a primer for the TOEFL and TOEIC exams.

Strengths of the software:
Each concept is taught in a combination skill set consisting of Discover the Grammar, Practice, Read, Listen, Write and Review Tests (click on each to see activity details).
All concepts are taught through interactive activities that build upon each other, and progressively get more challenging.
Full grammar reference materials are included in the form of grammar notes, grammar charts and appendices.
Context sensitive help and feedback is provided throughout.
Record keeping allows the student or the teacher to monitor progress.
Software is especially easy to navigate, making it easy to go in and out of areas and move around to any part of the program.
The software is easy to network for use in a computer lab.

Again, no word at their website about Modern OSes.
