Summaries of in-depth product reviews on Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows

Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger
Contact: Apple Computer * 800-275-2273
Web: http://www.apple.com
Summary
Pros: Secure, stable, and reliable; compatible with Windows networking
Cons: Requires expensive and proprietary hardware; Apple is often slow to fix bugs and security problems; $129 is a bit expensive for a minor OS upgrade
Rating: 4 out of 5
Recommendation:
Tiger is the best version of Mac OS X, adding major new features such as Spotlight instant desktop search. Rock solid, secure, and reliable, Tiger is a no-brainer for the Macintosh users in your business and provides several small improvements that make this OS even easier to use.

Experience Pack for Tablet PC
Contact: Microsoft * 800-426-9400
Web: http://www.microsoft.com
Summary
Pros: Free to all users of Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005; makes the Tablet PC more enjoyable and useful
Cons: Some tools should be available for other XP versions; Media Transfer application is sorely limited
Rating: 4 out of 5
Recommendation:
The Experience Pack offers six interesting tools: the Energy Blue Theme Pak, Ink Desktop (for writing directly on the screen), Snipping Tool 2.0 (for capturing Web content), Ink Art (an amazing natural paint program), Ink Crossword, and Media Transfer (which synchronizes digital media content between your Tablet PC and your desktop). I recommend this fun pack of mostly top-notch tools.
