Microsoft FrontPage 2003

Advantages: Much better HTML, CSS & scripting support, easy to use
Disadvantages: some features rely on Sharepoint Services which most people won't have.

...FrontPage has had a troubled history. Those that enjoyed its simple WYSIWYG approach felt let down by its lack of support for newer web technologies whilst HTML gurus sneered at its poor HTML generation and dependence on proprietary extensions on the server to achieve anything useful. With the 2003 release Microsoft have tried very hard to please everyone and managed to achieve great strides although it is still far from perfect. In terms of support, things are now much more impressive. There is support for XML, XSLT, CSS, Jscript, Javascript, VBScript and ASP.NET. Where it still lacks is mainly PHP and common non Microsoft databases such as MySQL The support extends to IntelliSense and AutoComplete as well as easy access to any code snippets you may have in your library. FrontPage 2003 also has tools to help develop web site...

Microsoft Flight Sim - Deluxe Edition

Advantages: Graphics, Addictivness, Easily playable for begineers
Disadvantages: Need a powerfull machine to get the best from it

...Wow, what a game. After my inital 20 minute install and several cups of coffee while i waited I was not dissappointed with the end result. I have a fairly powerfull machine (A pentium dual core 2.9 ghz processor with 1gb ram and 512mb geforce graphics) and the graphics a gameplay do not fail to dissappoint. In saying this the level of detail is still not turned onto maximum so i have reduced airtraffic and some anti-alias settings turned off. Even so the end result is good. I have always been a fan of flight sims but the control systems are someties tiresome, not in this case, they are easy to grasp and the maual explains all well, with some good intoduction training lessons for the flight sim beginner. The deluxe edition is a must as it has additional aircraft and the cities are more detaild, although this is only noticable if you are...

Microsoft 2003 upgrade

Advantages: easy to install
Disadvantages: expensive

...program to be incorporated into the office package 8/10 Microsoft Excel 2003 Microsoft Excel 2003 is the best spreadsheet on the market what you are capable of doing with excel far out weights what I can say here, it is the industry standard for 98% of all companies that use spreadsheets its supporting packages like Visual Basic and the use of macros to control Excel is excellent however to use Visual Basic a person may require a little bit of programming knowledge whereas as the macros are easily recorded and saved. There is little change to the original screen layout to the 2000 version 10/10 Microsoft Access 2003 Microsoft Access 2003 is one of those programs which have the potential to be a great database program but unfortunately it lacks the support from Microsoft to make it so. There is little change from the XP...

Another Powerhouse From Microsoft.

Advantages: Great Game Library, Incredible Graphics and Great Online.
Disadvantages: Odd Design and is Incredibly Loud for a Console

...Microsoft is back with their second system, the Xbox 360. In my reviews for consoles, i usually review four categories, Controllers, Graphics, Multiplayer/Online, and Game Library (thus far) but for the 360 and my later review on the PS3, i'll also be reviewing the consoles Design. The design of the 360 is much like the original Xbox, odd. The original Xbox was a bulky black box and weighed more then two PS2's combined. The 360 isn't necessarily as big but it's just as odd with an unusual curved square shape. The 360 is also a pretty noisy system. You'll definitely have no trouble telling the difference on whether the consoles on or off because it has the worlds loudest fan. The systems controller largely resembles the smaller version of the original Xbox controller. The controller has a slot for the 360 headset and a slot...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360

Microsoft have done it again!

Advantages: Graphics, Playability, Addictiveness, range of games and XBOX LIVE.
Disadvantages: Red lights are way too common.

...Microsoft's Xbox 360... this console was and is a highly anticipated piece of engineering genius, which successfully re-shaped the way modern-day gamers play. Microsoft have created several different types of Xbox 360's since the origional Xbox 360 'Core' was released several years ago: Core, Arcade, Premium and Elete aswell as other custom built models including the dedicated 'Halo - Xbox 360', with a Halo themed print around the outside. The 'Core' opened up the series with a disappointing 0 mb of storage. This meant everyone had to purchase a bunch of memory cards before saving their games and storing music. But this console was and still is capable of playing all Xbox 360 games... as you would undoubtedly expect. Microsoft quickly picked up on their embarrasing mistakes, producing a second version known as...

First timers opinion of Microsoft Money

Advantages: So much functionality and easy to use day-by-day
Disadvantages: Takes ages to set up

...Microsoft Money is avaliable for around £15 and will run on Windows 98, 2000, ME and XP. I'm running it on Windows 98 with a Pentium 1.3Ghz processer and 64Mb Ram. I've never used anything grander than an Excel spreadsheet to keep tabs on my finances so this is my first step towards being organised. Installing the software is the standard, simple, wizard driven install that you find with most Microsoft products. Installing the software is simple and takes literally a few minutes. The all you have to do is set-up your financial information and you're away ... If you have 1 bank account, no shares, no savings, no pensions and no assets then setting up Money 2003 (M2003) is a doddle. However this is not the case for most people, so be prepared to spend sometime setting it up. By some time, I'm talking about an evening but it is...

Review of Microsoft Money 2003 Standard Complete package

msm 2003

Advantages: Good Idea
Disadvantages: Complicated

...Microsoft Money 2003 Microsoft Money 2003 is quite a good program, but its one of those Microsoft Programs which some how always seem to be more complicated that they first appear. For instance, I set up a new account in Money 2003 and at first it was going ok. I started to add my expenditure into a table, but then I decided to enter savings information and somehow, the expenditure table disappeared. I?m sure that if I got the hang of the program, then it would be really good, but unfortunately that has not happened yet. Also, I don?t know why Microsoft products are so expensive. For Example- Office 2000 Premium edition is about £500 in most shops, this is the reason why most Microsoft products that are on many peoples? computers have been illegally copied. No one can afford these prices. Anyway, back to Money, although it...

Xbox 360 Arcade - wonderful console, let down a bit by microsoft

Advantages: good range of games; enjoyable Xbox live service; perfect starter-kit
Disadvantages: certain techno faults; difficult dealing with manufacturer

...Problems It is best to get these out of the way first, no? I have had several Xboxes. The first suffered from a "three-quarters" fault that meant it did not work at all. This was a well-known fault in the machines, and so even though the machine was out of warranty, Microsoft would fix it. However, in order to get it fixed, we had to go through an unnecessarily complex process with shipping labels, etc. (which did not work from the emails we received), but eventually we got it sorted. However, it took so long that we actually went out and bought another one! This second one had trouble with the power supply only two months after being purchased. Intermittently, the power supply would completely stop functioning, suggesting that there was something wrong with the wiring, but we never managed to figure out precisely what...
