  • 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.

  • Investigating Vista's new search features

    While Virtual Folders offers one technique to help us keep track of our data, there's still a need for a Search tool in Microsoft's new operating system. We look at Windows Vista's new Search features and how they work.

  • Longhorn goes beyond search

    Microsoft will build multiple search solutions into the next version of Windows. Is it enough?
