AutoSave Encrypt review

• VSS Monitoring 4x24 Distributed Filter Tap review
  VSS is a company that works to a specific niche - but a particularly useful one. The company makes devices that act as packet traps for network management tools and, as we find, proves to be rather adept at it.
• LG XD1 eSATA drive review
  USB 2.0 is good, but eSATA drives are better. Or might USB 3.0 be better still and worth waiting for?
• Asterisk 1.4 review
  Asterisk, the open source PBX, has a double reputation - that of being a top-class product burdened by a cumbersome set-up procedure. But, as we find, the defects have been exaggerated and if you're prepared to overlook the poor documentation, you could be on to a winner with this.
• Xandros Presto Linux review
  Presto promises the 'instant-on' OS experience and it delivers it with remarkably little fuss or danger. Now why couldn't Windows have been made like that?

• Samsung NC20 netbook review
  It's smaller than a conventional laptop but bigger than today's netbooks. Is this, in fact, genius?
• Passpack privacy manager 6.2 review
  Meet the first 'Password 2.0' application, part offline encrypted password store, part web-enabled app. It can also automate the use of passwords, which is probably its greatest feature.
• Sun Storage 7210 Unified Storage System review
  It might not be the cheapest around but the Sun 7210 packs a lot of power. With the cleanest and clearest GUI around, this could well be a worthwhile investment.
• Pano Desktop Virtualisation Device review
  As enterprises become more interested in holding data centrally, there's a growing need for thinner and thinner clients. The Pano desktop virtualisation device seems to take the concept to the most extreme but behind the sleak looks, there's a particularly interesting product.
• PicturePIN-XP password manager review
  The mind can accurately recall pre-selected areas on an image, even quite a complex image, more reliably than it can a sequence of numbers and characters, or so it is said by the makers of a new password management application, PicturePIN-XP.
• Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualisation (MED-V) review
  Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualisation is not a standalone product but has been developed as part of a wider programme. While it provides a viable way to bring legacy apps to the desktop, one can only think of an opportunity lost.
• SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise review
  The USB ‘thumb' drive started life as a simple way to move files around without company admins knowing anything about it, a sort of sneakernet for the 21st Century. This period of naïve technological glow lasted about a year. But now we're in the post-naivety phase and the drives are changing.
• Memeo Backup Premium 3.5 review
  Ever since the makers of external hard drives realised that bundling a backup program with their products was a sensible idea, programs like Memeo Backup have been on the rise. Are they worth the outlay?
• VMware Fusion 2.0 review
  The emergence of desktop virtualisation has been one of the stories over the past couple of years as Windows user turn to Macs. VMware Fusion is one of the leading players in this field and the newest version offers plenty for the user.
• Talend Open Studio 3.0 review
  The data integration market is one that has been left to a handful of companies, with not many competitors wishing to develop the complex software needed to crack that market. But open source development has offered a way in, as French company Talend has demonstrated.
• DiVitas Client and Server review
  Unified communications is one of those phrases that has a variety of meanings. DiVitas take it as a way to make your mobile work overtime by doubling as your work phone too. And despite the limited number of phones that the software supports, it's a technology that works very well.
• Microsoft Azure Services Platform review
  It didn't take long: scarcely had Steve Ballmer announced Microsoft's own cloud computing platform before a preview version was available for download. At first glance, it seems that Microsoft has put together a worthwhile platform for cloud computing development, although judgment will be reserved until the commercial version is available.
• Microsoft Silverlight 2.0 review
  When Microsoft Silverlight appeared in autumn 2007, it attracted plenty of media attention as commentators were eager to see how the company would tackle an RIA product. After 12 months where plenty of sites have used the technology, Microsoft has now introduced Version 2 of the product and all the signs are that there have been some useful advances.
• Parallels Virtuozzo Containers 4.0 review
  While much attention has focused on server virtualisation, desktop virtualisation has been the poor cousin in the corner. But Parallels' take on the technology, virtual desktop integration, is set to change all that and offer a quick and simple way to virtualise your machines.
• 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?
