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.

Microsoft Windows 7 (Professional)

Windows 7 looks like the operating system that we've all been waiting for. Despite its imperfections, it shows a lot of promise for the future while presenting a stable platform that can compete comfortably with OS X.

Reviews

  • Microsoft Windows 7 (Ultimate)

    Windows 7 looks like the operating system that we've all been waiting for. Despite its imperfections, it shows a lot of promise for the future while presenting a stable platform that can compete comfortably with OS X.

  • Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

    The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.

  • Synology DS209

    The Synology DS209 is an excellent little unit, with a more complex than necessary set up routine. Still for those looking for a highly featured, high performing NAS with an easy to use and flashy menu, it's certainly a compelling choice.

  • Dell Inspiron 13

    The Dell Inspiron 13 is great for those hampered by a tight budget, but who still want a competent and power-efficient thin-and-light notebook with a decent design.

  • Norton Internet Security 2009

    Norton Internet Security 2009 hits all the right security notes and its superior protection technologies might even win back some jaded anti-Symantec folks, though the lack of adequate technical support may continue to frustrate.

  • Wii Fit

    Wii Fit will help you work up a sweat, but it's not as smooth and fun a workout as you'd probably like.

  • Dell 926 Photo All-in-One

    The Dell Photo 926 is disappointing, even for a AU$100 multifunction printer. You can get a better printer for the same money.

  • Norton 360

    For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance.
