Despite possible legal threats to Windows XP, more than 20 of Microsoft's OEM and ISV partners have announced support for new features in the future OS.
When Microsoft releases Windows XP in October, will smaller software companies benefit from jumping aboard the bandwagon or be run over by it?
The new release of Kai's Power Tools ($329), which jumps from Version 3 to 5, isn't so much an upgrade as a new product. So different are the ten Photoshop-compatible plug-ins from their predecessors that MetaCreations has included a full copy of KPT 3 on the CD. And Ulead's new GIF-X Plugin makes adding movement and interest to your Web site easy.

The MSI Wind12 U200 sits in that comfortable space between netbook and laptop if you have modest needs, but still want a decent screen size and a bit more power than Intel's Atom offers, the U200 might be the laptop you're looking for.
MSI's VR603 is a perfectly fine budget laptop marred by the use of the Sentelic touchpad.
MSI's GT725 is a bleeding fast laptop. There's a number of design and software concerns, however, the price alone allows most of these to be forgiven. If you need a powerful desktop replacement, consider the GT725.
We like the MSI EX300. If you're on a budget, it doesn't cut too many corners. It does seem a little heavy for a laptop of this size, but should otherwise fulfil most of your needs.
MSI's EX720 isn't a bad laptop, but it certainly strikes as one with too many shortcuts taken. Still at AU$1,649 it's affordable, and if you're budget and technically minded you'll likely get some decent mileage out of this laptop.
