Windows XP is probably the best operating system for the vast majority of people who want to perform basic desktop tasks. It loses to Mac OS in many regards but superior support and accessibility make Windows a viable choice.

Overall, Solaris is a time-proven Unix platform, with a long legacy of stability and reliability. Solaris 10 has been tweaked for speed on generic PC-based hardware, and its new container methods show clear attention to security details.

With version Five-0, Linspire has crafted a Linux operating system that just about anyone can use - but these days, such a thing really isn't all that unique. Unfortunately, Linspire Five-0 distinguishes itself only with its custom applications and its penchant for repeatedly clawing at your wallet. Better Linux alternatives are out there.

Tiger is a giant leap over its predecessor, Panther. In my tests, the operating system seemed stable and relatively bug-free, and performance was excellent on both my new test system and even my ageing Powerbook.

Mandriva 2006 will get the job done, but it doesn't sport any features that set it apart. Until Mandriva makes a serious DrakConf interface overhaul a top priority, the distribution's configuration toolset will be a big strike against it.

Virtual PC 7 is an excellent program that comes highly recommended to all Mac users, but it is let down by painstakingly slow performance. It’s a shame because if it was quicker, we’d find it hard to find many faults with this version.

Many people, for years now, have predicted the rise of Linux on the desktop. Feisty Fawn is exactly the sort of polished, friendly release that is necessary to make the dream a reality.

So are 300-plus new features worth $158? That answer will vary, because no single user will ever take advantage of all -- or maybe even half -- of those 300 features. But given the impressive value of Time Machine and improvements to existing programs such as iCal, iChat, Mail, and the Finder, most active Mac users will find more than enough reasons to consider that upgrade cost money well spent. Despite a few interface missteps, particularly when it comes to the menu bar and the Dock, Leopard is an upgrade that roars.

VMware Fusion is a solid virtualisation package for OS X that builds on VMware's long experience but offers a native Mac look and feel. Support for SMP and 64-bit operating systems make it the top choice for power users. Support for Windows is strong, but some switchers will find the sparse set of GUI-based management tools a turn-off.
