Dreamhost Standard review

A hosting provider that's ideal for serious web developers thanks to a lack of restrictions on just about everything.

Jimdo Pro review

Jimdo makes it easy for novices to create a good-looking site quickly, but we can see little reason to pay for the Pro version.

Accountz Home Accountz review

Although at times the look and feel is old-fashioned, Home Accountz has some good new features and is still as clean, logical and easy to use and its predecessors.

Parallels Desktop Upgrade to Windows 7 review

Microsoft Office 2010 review

If you need more than just a text editor and a basic spreadsheet, then Microsoft’s Office is still a great choice.

Symantec Norton Ghost 15 review

A good backup program with some cool new features – but it’s expensive and we still prefer Acronis.

EastTec Eraser 2010 review

Works well and can clean the data from most current browsers and other relevant software – but it is rather pricey.

Sage Act! 2010 review

Everything a small company needs for successful customer relationship management – but the interface is horrible.

SiSoft Sandra 2010 Professional review

Good as ever, but the new features in this version feel like a fairly minor revision on the last version.

Encyclopaedia Britannica 2010 Ultimate Edition DVD review

The quality of Britannica's multimedia elements is mixed, but you can depend on the articles.
