I think the software is excellent when it comes to three things:
1)teaching you opening hand standards, 2) calculating pot odds, and 3) calculating normal holdem odds (such as percentage of improving 4 to a flush by the river).

I think its advice in general is pretty good too, but not perfect. To me, using it for opening hand selection practice makes it valuable enough. The abilities to zip to the next hand when you fold make it the same as using flash cards. It has a nice option where if you right click on the mouse it'll tell you the best play (and this is good preflop). So I would come up with the best play myself, then right click to hear what they have to say, before making it. Another great option is to have it hands you will be able to call with, or deal you only raising hands. I can say that I agree with about 90% of it's post-flop recommendations in ring games. But beware, in shorthanded games the advice is pretty bad.
Another feature that I use regularly is the simulations. You can 'stack the deck', and basically have it deal out a million hands from start to finish within a matter of seconds. Whenever I get a bad beat in a No Limit game, I find it psychologically easing to plug the bad beat into Turbo Texas Holdem and find out just how far ahead I was. I am now able to memorize many headsup matchups just because I've played around with this option so much.
Overall, I think this program will drill opening hand standards into you very fast, it will help you compute pot odds faster, and it will teach you percentages in general (such as improving your two pair to a full house by the river, or by the turn). This program is also incredibly user friendly.
If I had one week to turn a beginner into the best possible limit player possible, I would recommend two things:
Turbo Texas Holdem, and Ciaffone and Brier's Middle Limit Holdem (required reading for any limit holdem student).
