Check prices$158.49-$399.99Windows 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. -

Pricing not availableWindows Vista SP1
Reviewed on February 7, 2008 While it's always good to install the latest code for any operating system, installing the Windows Vista SP1 update will require some casual users to spend a few hours without any visible or tangible improvements to their systems. -
Check prices$180.96-$293.71Windows Vista Business
Reviewed on January 24, 2007 Windows Vista Business 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. -
Pricing not availableWindows 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. -
Pricing not availableMicrosoft Remote Keyboard (Windows XP Media Center Edition)
Reviewed on September 1, 2005 The media buttons on the Microsoft Remote Keyboard for Windows XP Media Center Edition make it easy to control MCE from the comfort of your couch, but the mouse could be easier to control. -
Pricing not availableMcAfee Total Protection
Reviewed on February 27, 2007 McAfee Total Protection feels like a grab bag of security and performance tools without any clear focus, which will likely frustrate the average user. -
Check prices$184.47Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac 7.0
Reviewed on November 16, 2004 Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac 7.0 is slow and a bit expensive, probably because it includes a Windows license, but it's cheaper than buying and maintaining a real PC--even a low-end one. -
Check prices$46.87Quicken 2007 Premier
Reviewed on August 18, 2006 Intuit Quicken 2007 Premier offers a thorough overhaul of its interface, as well as useful new features and conveniences that other financial software products can't match. -
Pricing not availableIntel Classmate PC
Reviewed on November 1, 2007 Aimed at students in developing countries, the Intel Classmate PC is an intriguing attempt at a low-cost laptop. We love the rugged design, but the small 2GB hard drive doesn't leave a lot of room for growth. -
Check prices$138.99-$178.95Microsoft Office XP
Reviewed on March 15, 2001 Microsoft Office XP's online and collaborative tool improvements make it a smart upgrade for businesses and groups, but it's not worth the cost, time, and effort for single or home users. -
Check prices$16.99-$42.86Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows
Reviewed on March 13, 2007 The Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver lets you use wireless Xbox 360 peripherals with your Windows PC, but it won't be a must-have PC gaming peripheral until more compatible games are available. -
Pricing not availableZeus Thunder DV
Reviewed on September 17, 2003 MSI's failure to create a useful interface for its Media Center mars the otherwise well-designed, well-outfitted Zeus Thunder DV. -
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.Pricing not available -
Pricing not availablePolywell MiniBox 900VX-2800
Reviewed on September 27, 2004 Polywell's attempt at creating a media-center PC falls flat, with a weak software bundle, poor 3D performance, and a puny LCD monitor. -
Pricing not availableGoogle Desktop 4 beta
Reviewed on June 22, 2006 Google Desktop 4 beta is less clunky than its predecessor, and we love the zippy search and creative Sidebar Gadgets. Still, we're wary of handing over our computing habits to Google's servers. -
Pricing not availableHP Presario SR1430nx (Pentium 4 2.93GHz, 512MB RAM, 160GB HDD, XP Home)
Reviewed on July 20, 2005 For less than $700, the HP Compaq Presario SR1430NX provides the essentials you need in a home desktop system, but the feature set may become obsolete quickly.
