Gorgeous, expensive and exasperating in equal measure, and yet still desirable despite its myriad faults

The arrival of Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 (ES2K3) is a significant event in the history of this product. First, it brings to a close the second era of the codebase. Released back in 1996 on the NT 4 wave, ES4 (there was no 1, 2 or 3) brought enterprise-level email, contact management, diary management and so forth to the Windows Server platform in a new and comprehensive BackOffice application.

TrueSpace has always led the pack in terms of features as far as Windows 3D animation packages under $2,000 are concerned.

This is a game that pushes PC hardware to the limit, and puts so called ‘next-gen’ consoles to shame.

An impressive paperback replacement with a remarkable display: it’s only let down by the unintuitive software.

The Olympus PEN E-P1 may look like a throwback to retro photography, but it’s expensive and flawed. However, it's beautiful image quality renders almost impossible to dislike.

MSI lines up to take a shot at the iPod Nano. Certainly a valiant effort, but was it a bullseye?

In this line of work, there's really nothing quite like the all-too-occasional experience of opening a box from Apple, and unveiling the shiny wonders squirreled away inside. In fact, it's the only event that never fails to draw all and sundry AJB staff from throughout the office into the Labs to catch a glimpse of what the tech company with only 3 percent market share worldwide has managed to innovate this time.
