  • Windows XP: Six months on

    Is Windows XP meeting your expectations or causing more exasperation than you bargained for?

  • Lenovo ThinkCentre A57

    The Lenovo A57 is a well-priced office desktop with a strong performance. While very similar to its smaller sibling, the M57e, the A57 offers better performance and upgrade options for a small price increase.

  • Acronis Partition Expert 10

    Repartitioning a disk usually involves loss of data and from our own experience, re-installing an OS on a laptop without using the recovery CD can be a nightmare. Acronis's answer to this is Partition Expert 10, a utility which lets you repartition disk drives without the headaches.

  • Windows Server 2008

    Windows Server 2008 is easier to install and manage than previous versions, and has many new and improved features that should encourage organisations to upgrade.

  • 3CX Phone System for Windows

    By being very easy to configure and manage, the 3CX Phone System for Windows scores well on functionality and is compatible with most SIP handsets, gateways and services. However scalability could be an issue for larger organisations.

  • Microsoft Windows Vista SP1

    A little more than one year after its release, Windows Vista will receive its first service pack update in March. Microsoft says the pack will offer better compatibility with third-party hardware, increased reliability, tighter security, and better performance. Our tests disagree.

  • Microsoft Windows Defender

    Windows Defender is free and therefore should be a part of your desktop antispyware collection. Still, it's best to get a second opinion, probably from your name-brand antivirus-plus-software application.

  • Microsoft slams iPhone as irrelevant

    Apple's soon-to-be-launched iPhone will be irrelevant to business users because it is a "closed device" and does not support Microsoft Office, a senior executive with the software giant said this week.

  • ThinkFree Office 3

    ThinkFree Office 3 is a low-cost alternative to Microsoft Office that lacks advanced tools but offers a free online component that's a handy work in progress for frequent travellers.

  • Windows Vista Home Basic

    Windows Vista Home Basic is essentially warmed-over Windows XP, Windows XP SP3. 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 Home Premium

    Windows Vista Home Premium is essentially warmed-over Windows XP Home Edition. 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 Home Premium is stable enough for everyday use.

  • Windows Vista Ultimate

    Windows Vista Ultimate 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.

  • First Take: Yahoo Messenger 7.0 (beta)

    Yahoo's next IM app lets you make free voice calls and leave voicemail, and it adds search and antispam tools.

  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2007

    Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 makes prettier presentations, so an upgrade may be in order if your work is particularly image-focused and you don't mind relearning the application. If PowerPoint 2003 serves you well, however, it offers most of the same features, albeit with flatter-looking graphics.

  • David Braue NBN needs workers on board
    Without consensus on labour issues, the eventual winner of the NBN may end up as little more than a lame duck and a cashed-up symbol of the conflict between the desire for progress and the lack of mechanisms to deliver it.
  • Array D'Ascenzo: Read p23 of security review
    Following yesterday's admission by the Australian Taxation Office that its courier had lost a CD containing the details of 3,000 self-managed super funds, it wants to review how it handles information. My suggestion: go back to the review completed in April.
  • Array Opening the floodgates on missing drives
    News headlines about portable storage devices going missing are as common as muck, but the problem could be even more widespread than you suspect.
