iLife '09
Category: Music and video
Apple iLife '09 is a great application suite for simple media organizing and editing, and the addition of features like face recognition, geotagging, and music lessons makes it worth the update. Laplink Everywhere 4.0
Category: Remote access
Laplink Everywhere 4.0 remote-desktop software offers multiplatform support and flexible file transfers but lacks true-color support and single-use passwords. Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2
Category: Windows
We recommend installing Windows XP SP2 but only after Microsoft has had a few weeks to work out the kinks. Railroad Tycoon 3 (PC)
Category: Arts & music
Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard
Category: Software
Adobe CS4 Design Standard serves designers who edit digital images and layouts for print, but many will find Design Premium a better deal for bundling the interactive potential of Flash, Dreamweaver, and Fireworks for $400 more. Windows Vista Home Premium
Category: Windows
Windows Vista Home Premium is essentially warmed-over Windows XP Home Edition. 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 Home Premium is stable enough for everyday use. IBM ViaVoice Simply Dictation for MAC OS X
Category: Voice recognition
ViaVoice is an affordable, if buggy, program for basic speech-to-text dictation. To avoid using your hands, however, we recommend the Windows-only Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8. Trend Micro Internet Security 2010
Category: Security and encryption
Trend Micro Internet Security Pro's broad feature set combined with its look and feel make it a serious contender, but its questionable efficacy and middling performance make it a program we're not recommending. Roxio Toast Titanium 8 for Mac
Category: CD/DVD authoring
Roxio continues to improve a strong suite and keep Toast current with the release of version 8. If the Mac OS and Apple's bundled apps don't meet your disc-creation needs, pick up Toast at once. Kaspersky Internet Security 6
Category: Software
Kaspersky Internet Security 6 provides thorough protection against online threats, but ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6 remains a better buy. Haute Secure 2.0
Category: Internet security and firewall
Haute Secure 2.0 blocks malicious content on the Web and is a worthy alternative to Linkscanner and Finjan SecureBrowsing. Norton AntiVirus 2007
Category: Internet security and firewall
By rewriting much of the code, Symantec made Norton AntiVirus 2007 faster and lighter than its 2006 version, but a few glitches here and there keep us from granting it our Editors' Choice award. Norton 360
Category: Internet security and firewall
For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance. We recommend it over McAfee Total Protection and Microsoft Windows Live OneCare. Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Standard
Category: Software
Adobe CS4 Web Standard serves interactive designers who don't have to edit images, but many will find Web Premium a better deal for bundling Photoshop and Illustrator for $500 more. Office XP Standard Edition
Category: Office suites
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. Adobe Photoshop CS3 (single user complete package, Mac)
Category: Image editing
With its streamlined tools, enhanced nondestructive editing capabilities, and better performance, Adobe Photoshop CS3 will look very attractive to almost any user. Acrobat 8.1 Professional for Windows
Category: Desktop publishing
For composing long PDF packages at an office that requires security and wants to use the new digital forms, Acrobat's got the goods, but it's overkill if you only seek to make short PDF files. McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008 - complete package
Category: Internet security and firewall
McAfee Internet Security 2008 trounces Norton Internet Security 2008, offering a better designed product with more security tools. WordPerfect Office 11 - Standard Edition
Category: Office suites
Current WordPerfect customers should certainly upgrade to Office 11.0. But SOHO users won't need some of the functionality. Norton Internet Security 2009
Category: Internet security and firewall
Norton Internet Security 2009 hits all the right security notes and its superior protection technologies might even win back some jaded anti-Symantec folks, though for some technical support may continue to frustrate Apple iLife '04
Category: Arts & music
This worthy upgrade brings some nice advances in features and power; the new addition, GarageBand, sweetens the deal. Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium
Category: Software
Adobe CS4 Web Premium is a good deal for interactive designers who don't need tools for video editing and sophisticated print layouts. Apple MobileMe
Category: Graphics and publishing
If Apple irons out the kinks, MobileMe could be worthwhile for iLife and iPhone users who want to keep data on their Macs, handset, iPod Touch, as well as Outlook mail and calendars on the same page. Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware 2010
Category: Antivirus and filtering
Going by older detection and removal numbers, Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware offers competent if basic security protection. However, so do many free competitors. This year, we recommend giving Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware 2010 a pass. Corel WordPerfect Mail
Category: Internet utilities
WordPerfect Mail is an inexpensive yet powerful e-mail app that's good for small businesses on tight budgets. While its IMAP support needs work, it's a fine alternative to Microsoft Outlook, Netscape, Eudora, and other competitors. |
