Pinnacle Studio 11

Pinnacle's Studio Ultimate offers a nice bridging gap product for those with low or high end video shooting equipment but little knowledge in video editing. Its Activation process is a royal pain, and set-up is likewise fiddly, but it ranks amongst the best in its class for ease-of-use video editing.

Creative Live Cam Optia AF

If remote video surveillance or time-lapse photography is something you want to do with a Webcam, the Creative Live Cam Optia AF is a good pick. For all others, Logitech has a better (and slightly cheaper) Webcam.

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.

Norton AntiVirus 2007

By rewriting much of the code, Symantec made Norton AntiVirus 2007 faster and lighter than its 2006 version, but a few glitches here and there keep us from granting it our Editors' Choice award.

Apple Mac Pro

Apple's Mac Pro has design innovations that we hope will cross over to other systems. Its performance is as strong as you'd expect for a system in its class, and it's priced right, too. You might need more flexibility in your config options, especially for 3D design, but otherwise, the Mac Pro is as solid a professional-class PC as we've seen.
