After years of my grumbling about Microsoft Windows operating systems, the hand of fate intervened and my laptop's hard drive and motherboard simultaneously failed, giving me the perfect excuse to go out and buy a new Apple iMac, a machine that can run Mac OS X 10.5 and Windows alongside each other, very useful to avoid wasting my investment in Windows software over the years. Not wishing to install Vista, I instead chose to purchase the Windows XP OEM Home Edition SP3 from Amazon for a very reasonable £65.17, which arrived within 2 days with the usual Amazon efficiency.
Using the Mac OS X Boot Camp application to install my new software, I was up and running in Windows XP in less than 30 minutes, connected wirelessly to my Netgear ... Read More: >>More Details |

I have personally found 'Tiger' to be the most efficient OS X to date, and therefore a real favourite for a couple of years when I was working in a graphics department. Their is no doubt Leopard is a beautiful upgrade, containing a stated "300+ upgrades", however, it is by no means essential if you Mac is work work purposes. The extra features we've found are not for the productive side of things, but more for consolidating files, making things visually look better, and a few notable new programs.
In short, Leopard would no doubt be a great update for the Media orientated users, but if you're all work and no play, it's actually not that essential. "Snow Leopard" has already been announced for next year anyway, and was stated would improve ... Read More: >>More Details |

A few months ago I bought a new laptop which came with Vista Home Premium pre-installed. I've now had the opportunity to compare Vista to my desktop PC's XP installation. In summary Vista doesn't make a compelling upgrade. Memory usage is considerably higher, the default User Account Control setup is so overbearing that I disabled it completely and from the perspective of the end user the new features seem to be mostly related to visual tarting up and transparency effects. These new features add nothing much to productivity. The frequency and volume of critical security patches to apply seems to continue as with XP. There are some useful features but most of these can be added to XP by using existing free applications. Not a worthwhile upgrade.

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium OEM/OEI DSP - 64-bit Edition SP1 (PC DVD)from: Microsoft OEM Licence January 30, 2007 Best Selling > Software > Operating Systems |

I have been reluctant to upgrade from XP for a while because of all the negative things I've heard about Vista. Being a computer geek I always thought it somewhat ironic that this is exactly what everyone was saying when XP came out and I had always wondered if this was just the same lack of will to change.
I'm now convinced that that is all it is. Vista 64 is great. Whatever rubbish people say about the difficulty of finding drivers really isnt true - all my software, hardware and games run on it with no problem at all. It looks great, is much faster to use than XP once you get the hang of it - the layout makes more sense and I reckon Vista 64 gets better performance out of your components than XP. 64bit Vista is the only windows as far as I know that will ...

I have been using Windows Vista Home Premium for nearly two years. Initially I used it on a "Windows Vista Capable" machine, and with all the UI effects turned on it ran like a dog. I remember the same thing in 2001 when I ran Windows XP on a 233 MHz machine with 64 MB RAM (the minimum spec for XP). I have since used Vista on my other two newer machines, each of which exceed the recommended spec, and I have been rewarded with new stability and security, along with an enhanced multimedia experience. Mac OS 10.5 has nothing on Vista (I use both at work), just don't try to run it on low-end hardware and expect miracles.
Media Center is a brilliant pack-in, get a remote and plug the PC into your TV and away you go. For gamers I would recommend the Wireless gaming receiver which ... Read More: >>More Details |

Great software that got me out of a hole by allowing me to install Windows 2000 on a Mac Pro so that I could run a vital legacy application that only runs on Windows 2000 (an OS long discarded). The software just works, which is exactly what you need. As ever, read the manual to get the most out of it -- especially when it comes to configuring network and display settings.
