Parallels Virtuozzo Containers 4.0 review

• Zeus ZXTM 5.0 review
  ZXTM combines a whole heap of features in one box - or as one software product if you prefer - and makes installing the whole shebang a simple job. We find that the virtual appliance works a treat ... who needs a box?
• SolarWinds ipMonitor 9.0 review
  The are plenty of network monitoring tools around, the trick is finding out which one works best for you. SolarWinds has always made much of its being designed intuitively for network engineers and, as we find, this is not a hollow boast.
• Palm Treo Pro review
  Windows Mobile is the Marmite of mobile operating systems: some users love the ease with which it enables access to business, while a good many more hate it. One self-proclaimed fan found that this phone uses Windows to fine effect.
• GoodSync Pro 7.2 review
  Synchronisation is the alternative to backup, but it is also a much more complex world. Does this program keep life simple enough?

• BlackBerry Bold 9000 review
  So here it is; the most anticipated BlackBerry handset to date. The BlackBerry Bold 9000 is a quad-band handset with both HSDPA (high speed downlink packet access) 3G and GPS navigation that its maker, Research In Motion, hopes will cause as much of a furore as the iPhone 3G.
• Billion BiPAC 7402GX router review
  Billion's latest BiPAC ADSL router is an attempt to add 3G failover to what is otherwise a competent and well-featured if unadventurous 802.11g switch/router. Its other strength is its VPN capability.
• Truphone v4.0 VoIP-over-mobile review
  Here's an interesting idea. Millions of people make VoIP phone calls over the Internet from their PCs, or using special handsets, so why not do the same thing with a humble mobile phone? Truphone is one such application.
• DrayTek Vigor 2820Vn router review
  A remote office or small office router with ADSL, WAN and 3G failover that doesn't cost the earth? Not possible they said. DrayTek's latest Vigor can do all this and more.
• Microsoft Hyper-V RC1 review
  With Hyper-V finally launched, it's time to have a look at how it stacks up against the VMware, the clear market leader. The result? While there's still some distance to go, VMware should start getting worried.
• SanDisk Cruzer Professional review
  Where did it go wrong for the once inoffensive USB memory stick? A new generation of drives using mandatory encryption attempt to make them loved once more.

  The 3G iPhone is a big improvement. Is it ready for business now?
• Aagon Client Management Platform review
  A nicely-designed client manager for Windows-based PCs, with central monitoring and a good GUI, and which should scale well, thanks to being based on a proper DBMS.
• Xobni for Outlook 1.2 review
  Outlook is powerful but stupid. Here's an app that adds some intelligence and doubles productivity.
• Quickoffice Premier 5.0 review
  The eponymous Quickoffice publishes a number of applications for PDAs and smartphones, focusing in particular - but not exclusively - on Nokia Series 60 v3 phones such as the E-series and newer N-series models. We look at two of the most useful ones - Quickcalendar, and Quickoffice itself.
• 4ipnet MSG100 wireless office controller review
  A handy and inexpensive device for multi-zone security, including enforcing access control on both wired and wireless network users.
• Buffalo TeraStation Pro II Rackmount review
  A lovely rack with up to 4 Terabytes of storage in one SAN would once have cost and arm and both legs, but not any more. As ever, we hunt for the economies.
• Lenovo ThinkPad X300 review
  We got our hands on what might just be the best laptop of the year - can it possibly be as good as we heard?
• PortTracker review
  A useful appliance that allows you to monitor what is - and has been - connected to your network, as long as you're running Cisco switches.
• Packeteer iShaper review
  Packeteer's combination WAN accelerator and traffic shaper is second to none in speed of CIFS transfers, and among the leaders in overall performance; however, users needing shared byte-level caching musst wait for the next release.
