    Virtual assistance is virtually useless

    It's no surprise that software companies are keen to fob off as much of their tech support as possible to automated systems -- support is a cost, not a profit centre, unless you charge an inordinate amount for it.

    Google's green data plans a hypocrisy?

    Google's plans for greener datacentres are being promoted with great fervour, but its calls for greater environmental accountability have some definite limitations.

  • Green your datacentre or it may go dark

    Being green, in terms of IT and datacentres, only very superficially has anything to do with saving the environment. In reality it is about cold, hard cash and how to spend less of it.

  • CIO View: Vista may be pretty but it's no big deal

    When choosing to upgrade to Windows Vista, IT managers must decide whether the additional features will create any real value.

  • War rages on over Microsoft's OOXML plans

    What is it about Microsoft's proposed OOXML standard that has boffins hurling death threats at each other?

  • Gates talks about the future before farewell

    For years, Bill Gates has been trumpeting software's ascent from the lowly PC to everything from mobile phones to home entertainment.

  • Hyper-V

    Microsoft's Hyper-V is a solid virtualisation platform that's compatible with a wide range of modern server hardware.

  • Lenovo loads up on Windows Live Search

    All Lenovo computers worldwide will soon come bundled with Microsoft's Windows Live software, the companies announced Wednesday.

  • Microsoft Outlook 2007

    If you work with Microsoft Outlook on a daily basis, this upgrade can make scheduling simpler and e-mailing more interesting. Still, we wish Instant Search and e-mail rendering were better.

  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2007

    Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 makes prettier presentations, so an upgrade may be in order if your work is particularly image-focused and you don't mind relearning the application. If PowerPoint 2003 serves you well, however, it offers most of the same features, albeit with flatter-looking graphics.

  • Windows Vista Business

    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.
