Microsoft Sidewinder
The Sidewinder is a good attempt by Microsoft to launch themselves back into the gaming arena after testing the waters with the Habu, but they're not quite there yet.
Microsoft Reclusa
The Reclusa is an excellent keyboard, with good tactile feedback -- however in its target market the Logitech G15 thoroughly dominates.
Microsoft Expression Web
Microsoft Expression Web is a solid Web site layout program that replaces FrontPage and offers tools for dynamic designs, although we'd like more help for newbies.
Microsoft Windows Defender
Microsoft Windows Defender is perhaps the best free antispyware application we looked at this year, but it's lacking when compared to brand-name antivirus-plus-antispyware solutions.
Microsoft Word 2007
If you're ready to let go of old habits from previous versions of Word and want to make sleeker-looking documents, Microsoft Word 2007 is worth the upgrade. However, less-expensive alternatives handle its core features without the clutter.
Microsoft Digital Media Keyboard 3000
Yep, it's a keyboard, with no delusions of trying to be anything else. For the price it's pitched at, it also happens to be a very good one.
Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000
Unless you desperately need a full-sized keyboard covered in silver to match your decor, we'd suggest you pass on the Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000, and go for one of the cheaper options.
Microsoft Office Outlook 2007
If you work with Microsoft Outlook on a daily basis, this upgrade can make scheduling simpler and e-mailing more interesting. Still, we wish Instant Search and e-mail rendering were better.
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 Office Standard 2007
Microsoft Office Standard 2007 is a worthy upgrade if you need to make sleeker-looking documents and presentations. But you stick to your current software if you don't feel that it lacks anything.
Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 - keyboard, mouse
Though it may not offer much relief from clinical repetitive stress injuries, the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 will satisfy users who want a slightly more comfortable keyboard and mouse than the one that came with their computer.
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 Office 2008 for Mac
Microsoft plans to release Office for Mac 2008 on January 15, making this the first update in about four years. We've tested beta versions of the new applications over the last month without running into glitches.
Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000
There are better Webcams that you can buy with your AU$150 than the Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000.
Microsoft LifeCam NX-3000
It's cheap and compact and delivers acceptable video quality, but the bundled software plagues Microsoft's LifeCam NX-3000 Webcam. Creative has a model for nearly the same price that we like better.
Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
For mobile mousing without the hassle of a receiver, Microsoft's Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 fits the bill as long as you don't mind its somewhat lumpy design.
Microsoft Mobile Memory Mouse 8000
Microsoft's ambitious, if slightly awkward, Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 covers all the bases with built-in memory, both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz, and even a rechargeable battery.
Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 7000
A little bit bigger and the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 7000 could be a regular desktop mouse, which makes it easy to use, but not the best for easy traveling.

Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac (Special Media Edition)
Office 2008 for Mac may be the best pick for business users, but most people can get by with less expensive alternatives.
Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000
Microsoft fits a number of useful features on to the keyboard in its new Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 set, but we're not sold.
