Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6)
Intel Mac users will like Snow Leopard's smartly designed interface enhancements, and its Exchange support is a must-have (especially with Outlook for Mac on the way). With a ton of technological improvements, Snow Leopard is worth the AU$39 upgrade fee.
Microsoft Windows 7 (Home Premium)
Windows 7 is more than what Vista should have been — it's where Microsoft needed to go. How much damage Vista did and whether Windows 7 is enough for people to finally abandon Windows XP are questions that nobody has the answers to right now.

HP TouchSmart IQ505a
The second generation TouchSmart as just a panel PC is gorgeous. The AU$1,999 price is fantastic as well — but we can't help but feel that there's so much more potential in the touchscreen aspect being left, ahem, untapped.

Firefox 3
If only for the speed, lightness of being and security alone, Firefox remains our Editors' Choice for best internet browser.

Ubuntu 7.04
