Windows Vista Ultimate
Reviewed on January 23, 2007
Windows Vista 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.

Windows Live OneCare
Reviewed on February 26, 2007
Windows Live OneCare doesn't provide as many unique features and often repackages tools already available for free within the Windows operating system. For $30 more, it's well worth investing in the solutions from McAfee or Symantec, and we give the final nod to Norton 360 which ensures the best protection and performance tools for your money.

Windows Vista RTM
Reviewed on November 8, 2006
Microsoft has released its new operating system, Windows Vista, to hardware manufacturers, marking the end of the development phase and the beginning of the distribution phase. Not everything is perfect, but Microsoft expects to have all the glitches under control by the company's self-imposed January 2007 product release date.

Windows Vista RC1 (build 5564)
Reviewed on September 1, 2006
Windows Vista RC1 (build 5564) should mark the final stretch for Microsoft's new operating system, but don't be surprised if Microsoft issues one more public release candidate before making Windows Vista final.

Windows Vista RC2
Reviewed on October 11, 2006
We think the overall quality of this $399 Windows Vista Ultimate edition is not deserving of final release candidate status, and we expect to see at least one more interim build, or perhaps even another release candidate, soon.
