    People queuing for Microsoft's new Windows Vista operating system at PC World stores in the UK will be some of the last to see a floppy disk in the shops.

  • News: £1,001+ Vista PC: Evesham Solar Creation GT

    Evesham will always draw praise for the quality of its aftersales support, but elsewhere its PCs don't offer quite the value for money as rivals such as Arbico and Mesh do. There's very little wrong with the Solar Creation, but it is outdone in most areas by other £1,001 Vista PCs.

  • News: Ballmer hypes Vista at New York launch

    Microsoft chief executive officer (CEO) Steve Ballmer attempted to end rumours that Windows Vista will be the last Windows client OS, claiming that Microsoft has "plenty more where that came from" at a press event to mark the consumer launch of the new OS and Office 2007 in New York.

  • News: £1,001+ Vista PC: Mesh E6700 X-Treme PCA

    The Mesh is the best Vista PC we’ve seen. Component for component, it succeeds again and again in edging ahead of the Arbico CD1950EX and (more resoundingly) the Evesham Solar Creation GT. However, it will cost you £250 more than the Arbico, so ask yourself what’s more important – the cash or the slightly better components.

  • News: £750 Vista PC: Mesh E6400

    There's a lot about the E6400 that's right. Unfortunately for Mesh, in a competitive division that isn't really enough and the lack of any stand-out components consigns it to the rear of the newly announced pile of £750 Windows Vista PCs.

  • News: £750 Vista PC: Evesham Solar GSI

    If any of the PCs we tested looked as though they might struggle to satisfy the demands of Vista, it’s the Solar GSI.

  • News: £750 Vista PC: Arbico CD7950XL

    Because of its 7950 GT graphics card, at £750 Arbico's CD7950XL is an excellent buy. Gamers will be particularly interested in the high framerates pulled out by the CD7950XL during our Company of Heroes and Fear tests – the Arbico was 10-15fps (frames per second) faster than its competitors.

  • News: Microsoft threatens licence dodgers

    Microsoft will take a new approach toward mid-size companies it suspects of using unlicensed software, sending a series of letters culminating in a threat of legal action from the Business Software Alliance (BSA), a company official said today.

  • News: £1,001+ Vista PC: Arbico CD1950EX

    There are some nice Vista PC deals available for under £750, but should you want a PC that’ll really be able to harness the power of Vista then you really ought to expect to pay in excess of a thousand pounds. The Arbico CD1950EX worked out as the best of the money-no-object Vista PCs we looked at.

  • News: £750 Vista PC: Zoostorm 4-5404 Versatile PC

    Zoostorm's 4-5404 is a very good Windowa Vista PC, although its flat-panel lacks the crisp image quality enjoyed by some of the other early Vista PCs. And this is less of a problem than it might be, because only Vista Home Basic is included, making the best possible screen less of a priority.

  • News: £750 Vista PC: Chillblast Fusion Vista 6300 OCTV 2.1GHz

    Even with the added demands of Windows Vista Home Premium taken into consideration, we wouldn't normally recommend an overclocked PC. Pushing a chip to speeds that exceed the settings recommended by the manufacturer can be a recipe for disaster. However, few companies are more adept than Chillblast at wringing that extra bit of power from a CPU.
