Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2007
Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2007, by
Jeff Bertolucci.
The good:
Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2007 is free; lets you manage eBay auction sales and purchases; has a clean interface; integrates with hundreds of online banks.
The bad:
Some of the features within Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2007 require the paid Microsoft Office 2007, which isn't available yet; requires Windows 2003 server, XP, or Vista; time-intensive installation; expensive tech support.
The bottom line:
The Professional version is impressive too, especially for eBay users--although not stellar enough to convert QuickBooks' legions of fans.

Windows Vista Ultimate
Windows Vista Ultimate, by
Robert Vamosi.
Perhaps we're spoiled, but after more than five years of development, there's a definite "Is that all?" feeling about Windows Vista. Compared with Mac OS X 10.4, Windows Vista feels clunky and not very intuitive, almost as though it's still based on DOS. Windows Vista SP1 promises to fix what's known to be wrong within Windows Vista and should offer a few concrete reasons to switch.

Vista
Vista: The Good, The Bad, and the Buggy, by
Jeffrey S. Krause.
As you can probably tell, I am very impressed with Windows Vista. Certainly, there are a number of things I wish were different. I understand the necessity for User Account Control and will eventually appreciate it in my role as a technology consultant, but the feature, with its constant prompts, makes installing a new Vista system remarkably annoying. Once my system is fully installed, I am sure my annoyance with this will subside. If you are buying a new Windows PC or laptop, yes. Vista Business has been quite stable on my Inspiron E1705 since I upgraded. On the other hand, there are no features in Vista that make it an immediate must have if you are happy with your existing PC and its functionality.
