Microsoft Office - Essential for any business or individual

Advantages: Many packages on one disc which will save you time.
Disadvantages: Price is high

.... Microsoft Access This package creates database that many businesses would find very useful for storing records or for data mining. Access can be combined with other packages for many tasks e.g.: mail merge or web applications. An individual user could also use this but this is really for the big companies. Microsoft PowerPoint Do you often need to give presentations to people, whether it?s a small group or a large audience, PowerPoint can help you make your presentation a great success. With many customisable options, you can create the best slideshow to fit the situation. Also you can send your PowerPoint to others, for discussion or help. Microsoft Outlook There are many Email clients out there, for many companies. But Outlook has always been the best, because of its many features and extras. Also because it is so user...

Server for small business

Advantages: Over all average features
Disadvantages: Low memory

...HP Proliant ML115 G5 ***************** Discussed lot about laptops, now have a look some good desktop PCs. Going to discuss New launch from HP, a server desktop PC. Server PCs are most popular in today's business and Hp is always ahead to provide latest and upgraded servers time to time. HP Proliant ML115 G5, is one of the good and affordable desktop server and it can be good choice for your business with its latest technology and configuration and with middle range budget server. *** Design and size This desktop is designed as traditional tower design, and size and weight are also something similar to that. It has about 12 KG of total weight and there is no scope of discussion about weight as it is not a new in server PCs. Desktop has a beautiful tower design and I always like this as this is a most popular design in desktops...

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...

Review of Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 Complete package

Another Powerhouse From Microsoft.

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

.... While the avatars were a good idea, they ended up looking rather retarded. The Xbox 360 has probably the best game library thus far in the console generation, ranging from Action to even RTS (Real-Time Strategy, a genre that consoles usually don't have). The 360 also has a great number of exclusive games, the two biggest being Halo and their new exclusive series Gears of War. When it comes to the seventh generation consoles the Xbox 360 is, in my opinion, the best console out of the three. While the system suffers from the usual flaws, it does show that Microsoft is here to stay and is a true competitor in the video game business....

Move over Sir Alan...

Advantages: Simple, professional, great options
Disadvantages: Irritating minor points

...~~*~~*~~ Microsoft Office Live Small Business ~~*~~*~~ When I got made redundant after the ex-boss had a nervous breakdown, the natural move was to get another job. Now obviously, one tries to acquire the job of their choice in the first fortnight, but after realisation smacks them in the face, one must merely take whatever the job centre throws their way otherwise one's dog will starve. As well as sulking, I did search high and low for a good job but I had a tiny puppy to add to the equation and didn't want to leave the little blighter at home (she was a bugger for chewing wires but strangely ceased once she'd gnawed through an extender cable that luckily had a breaker on it to take most of the current - I say most, because she let out an almighty yelp, ran away and hid under a bush for over an hour). Thus, I concluded, if...

Review of Microsoft Office Live Small Business

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...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360

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...

Microsoft Xbox 360 - A HD Gaming Machine

Advantages: impressive graphics, great gaming, good price
Disadvantages: building quality not great

...Intro The xbox is for the average gamer who likes impressive graphics. The 360 is very easy to use espicially with the new xbox experience operating system which will be installed automatically on the first system start up if you connect your xbox to a broadband internet connection. The xbox features many games which usually retail at £40 - 50 for each game. Most games also allow you to go on xbox live and play with your friends online. The xbox marketplace is also available if you have an xbox live gold subscription (you get a month free with the system and its £30 month afterwards) where you can download movies and lots of other extra content for games for a small fee for each item. Graphics The graphics of a console are one of the biggest reasons for buying a console, and the xbox really dosen't disappoint. When i got my xbox...

Microsoft 2003 upgrade

Advantages: easy to install
Disadvantages: expensive

...Microsoft Word 2003 Microsoft word 2003 upgrade is actually one of Microsoft's better products, it has new templates incorporated into the package and has excellent downloads from the Microsoft website which for a limited time are actually free. Microsoft has been attempting to integrate all its packages in the office program for some time and this has generally worked Microsoft word is capable of importing all of the other office programs into word. This package is one of the best on the market however it doesn't handle images and graphics very well this is because when you try and place a graphics image on the screen it uses half the page with a graphics box. In my humble opinion Microsoft are trying to emulate a desktop publishing program when they should really just stick to a word processor and create a desktop publishing...

Novell Small Business Suite 6 - Now FREE

Advantages: FREE, Not Microsoft, Flexibility, Cost per user, 2 server licences
Disadvantages: Limited backup system requiring a third party product.

...WOW - Novell have just made this great package absolutely free. You can get it at http://www.ramms.co.uk/novell.htm perfectly legally. The free version offers 5 concurrent user & 2 server licences. There is an expansion pack, which adds a further 5 concurrent users and enables more user licences to be added, but adding this is still cheaper than a standard 10 user licence. Let me explain that this is a comprehensive suite of small business tools designed to assist communication and provide network computer users with easy access to centrally resourced, computer network based, applicaations, tools and information, both locally and/or via the Internet. It is not something that the average home user would normally be interested in, but if you run a small business, and need to store information, share networked resources...
