The Bottom Line: Although not even in beta, Windows 7 already appears stable and full of consumer-friendly features.

The Bottom Line: We recommend Small Business Server for companies with more than 50 employees, but you'll have to purchase additional server licenses to do so. Smaller companies should consider rival server suites and outsourcing and open source solutions.
