Reviews

  • Microsoft Windows Vista SP1

    Microsoft pushes its first service pack for Vista out the door. Is it a salvation, a non-event or a flop?

  • 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.

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 Beta

    Given all the expectations, we wanted more within IE 7 for XP, but Microsoft has given us less.

  • Internet Explorer 6 (with Windows XP SP2)

    Venerable Internet Explorer is showing its age among the hot, young field of browsers led by Mozilla's Firefox.
