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.

  • Crayola EZ Type Keyboard

    While the EZ Type Keyboard is designed to be for children over three years of age, there is no doubt that it can easily elicit squeals of delight from those who are still children at heart.

  • HP EliteBook 6930p

    A solid business laptop with excellent battery life, the EliteBook 6930p won't disappoint, but there is little in this laptop to warrant the "Elite" label.

  • MobileMe

    MobileMe is the successor to .Mac, Apple's subscription service for publishing photos and other personal content to the Web.

  • 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.

  • Alienware Area-51 m9750

    Alienware's flagship gaming laptop, the Area-51 m9750, has plenty of appeal for high-end gamers, but the alien head aesthetic seems dated, and newer components are right around the corner.

  • Ubuntu 7.04

    Ubuntu is very user-friendly but not right for everyone. Oddly, both casual and advanced users will find this operating system wonderful, while day-to-day users may rail against Ubuntu's incompatibility with certain popular software applications.

  • 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.

  • Give Windows XP a Vista Look

    Windows Vista won't be available until early next year, but current XP users drooling over Vista's new Aero theme and utilities, such as sidebars and widgets, don't have to wait for Microsoft to ship out its new operating system to upgrade their desktops.
