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.

  • Kodak ESP 3

    The Kodak ESP 3 comes with great software for editing photos and applying touch-ups to portraits, but printer software is only as good as the physical results, and the print quality isn't nearly up to current industry standards. Your money would be much better spent on alternative multifunction printers.

  • Canon Pixma iP1800

    With its decent print speeds, serviceable print quality, and great software package, the Canon Pixma iP1800 is a good choice for an inexpensive inkjet printer for home users with basic printing needs.

  • Iomega StorCenter Pro 150d

    The Iomega StorCenter Pro 150d is a network-attached storage drive squarely targeted at the small- and home office user. With Gigabit Ethernet, USB port, and generous capacity for a fair price, this NAS drive should satisfy those users.

  • Microsoft Vista Home Basic

    If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, it is not worth rushing out to purchase Vista Home Basic. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use.

  • Windows Vista Home Premium

    Vista Home Premium will likely be one of the most popular of the six varieties of Microsoft's latest operating system. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade, but if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use.

  • Windows Vista Business

    Windows Vista Business is essentially warmed-over Windows XP. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use.

  • Windows Vista Ultimate

    Microsoft has released its new operating system, Windows Vista, to hardware manufacturers, marking the end of the development phase and the beginning of the distribution phase.
