Feature: Using lossless audio formats

Here's a feature for novices written for Computeractive. It's an introduction to using lossless audio formats for music files, and explains what they are, how to use them and where to buy music tracks recorded in these high-quality formats.

Review: HP Officejet Pro 8000 Enterprise

HP has sold business inkjets for several years, but the Officejet Pro 8000 Enterpriseis its first model aimed at larger organisations. It's a slower, lower resolution version of the Officejet Pro 8000 model, but gains a Laserjet-style status panel and menu, PCL5/6 and Postscript support as well as integrating with HP's network print management software and its Universal Printer Driver. Read my full review of it on IT Reviews.

Feature: Get free PC security software

Computeractive has just published online a feature I wrote for the print magazine a couple of months ago. It shows you how to pick the best selection of free PC security software for your needs, looking at the pros and cons of using standalone programs versus integrated security suites.

Review: Windows Home Server 2011

I'm a user (and big fan) of the current version of Windows Home Server - it keeps all my documents safe and sound, and has several times saved my bacon when I've managed to trash one of my several Windows installations. So I was looking forward to WHS 2011, and grabbed the RTM from Technet as soon as it appeared. You can read my findings in my review for The Inquirer, but suffice it to say I'm afraid I'll probably be sticking with my existing installation unless someone comes up with a solid, reliable replacement for Drive Extender (there are a couple in the offing, such as Drive Bender and StableBit Drive Pool).

Review: Cisco Linksys E4200 450Mbps router

The newly-redesigned E-series range of Linksys routers from Cisco includes the top-of-the-range E4200, the first router I've reviewed with a 450Mbps 802.11n capability. It's a great router, with many of the problems I found in the E3000 now fixed. Read my full reviews on The Inquirer, IT Reviews and Computeractive

Review: Dell S500wi projector

Dell's new S500wi interactive 3D ultra-short throw projector uses the same TI DarkChip3 DLP chip as the Dell S300wi model I reviewed in 2010. But it uses a mirror projection system and has some other differences, as I explain in my reviews on ZDNet UK and V3.co.uk.
