Best Office Yet
Its easy to hate everything Microsoft (I too hate crossing Bill's palm with Amex as much as the next person) and its also true that Open Office 2 is a supberb piece of software - particularly given as its free. In fact I have been using Open Office exclusively - until now.

There's one thing that gives Office 2007 the edge over Open Office and that's the new ribbon interface. It really is brilliant and it really does increase productivity. Afterall, if it wasn't for the ribbon it would be just another office suite and I would stick with Open Office.

It seems though, that Microsoft really have sat with end users and really have taken notice of how people use their software and I think that the new user interface is a huge step forward in software interaction.

As a home user as well I don't think the £85ish that Amazon is asking for 3 licenses is particularly expensive. About £27.50 each which if you think back to the cost of the full proper office suite a couple of years ago is pretty good value.

Just bear in mind that the standard Home & Student pack doesn't come with Outlook which I suppose most home users won't miss (although I can't live without it so bought it separately from MS for £40 odd) but it does come with OneNote which is proving useful.

All in all if you're not sure whether you're ready for the jump to Office 07 then download the 60 trial version from Micrsoft's website. Just be warned if you do you may find yourself reaching for your credit card - I did!! (and a word of warning, its much cheaper to by the software from Amazon than to acitivate your demo version via Microsoft).

Value ......... or is it 
Quite good value for software from Microsoft, and a must 'add on' for any student off to university, especially as it can legitimately be loaded onto three laptops or pc's at any one time - a bonus for families with more than one child or student whom may each have their own pc or laptop.

Others, not students, tempted to buy it for their basic office needs such as Word and Excel and Powerpoint, may perhaps first like to check and see if their employer is signed up to Microsofts 'Home User Program'. This allows employees to register with Microsoft and get a more fully loaded Office package for the price of the disk plus postage and packing, currently about £18.

Windows 7, a gamers perspective.
Wow, what a difference a few years makes. I reviewed Windows Vista upon it's release and was quite scathing in my review. In the end they never did quite get Vista up to scratch. I basically built my system dual boot XP+Vista and every month I would boot into Vista and update any required drivers, patch it all up and then try some gaming, and each time it was nowhere near as fast as XP running on the same box.

So, I've been running Windows seven for a couple of months now and prior to that I'd been running the release candidate version. I've deliberately held off reviewing Windows 7 because frankly I've been waiting to see if any problems appear with it. The good news is that so far I've had very few problems. Infact for the last 2 months I've been running my system with just Windows 7 and haven't even bothered having XP installed at all. This is a big deal, kind of like taking off the training wheels.

The install experince for Windows 7 was very painless, I had non of the SATA RAID controller driver issues that Vista had. Once installed the OS is lovely to look at, to be fair it has more than a passing resemblance to Vista with both OS's looking very similar, but for me the important part is in how the OS affects games performance and overall game compatability. Windows 7 has run every game I care to chuck at it and it runs them just as well as XP. Even the games engines that still gave me problems with Vista would run silky smooth on Windows 7, namely games such as: GTR2, Race07, iRacing. Infact the only game I've struggled to get working is IL2 1946 which needs some tweaking apparantly to make work on Windows 7. All other games I've tried have worked.

I also experienced non of the sound card device driver issues I had with Vista for my Soundblaster Xfi Fatal1ty card. This card was a nightmare to get working on Vista, but works fine on Windows 7.

There is not really much more that I can say as to be honest I really only use an OS as a platform for gaming, so I don't tend to make the most use out of the features an OS might have. All I can say is that if you are a gamer who avoided the move to Vista, quite rightly in my opinion, then it really is time to think about making the move to Windows 7, it is a fantastic OS. Microsoft couldn't afford to drop the ball a second time and I'm glad to say they havent.

Best Windows Ever?
A friend had loaded an evaluation copy of Windows 7 on my Sony Vaio VGN-AR21S laptop which had become time expired. I had never loaded , or upgraded, a Windows installation before. I backed up everything important music, spreadsheets etc (including my 64 bit drivers) on to an external USB hard drive before starting and simply followed the instructions. I did a clean 64 Bit installation ( you cant directly upgrade from an evaluation version of Windows 7) which effectively wipes your hard drive. 30 minutes or so later I was up and running again. Reloading my programs took some time but I now have the benefit of a very stable setup. If you have Windows XP and are thinking of upgrading - and you have the right hardware - forget Vista and go to Windows 7. You wont regret it. This is money well spent.
