Information Week: Review - Six Rootkit Detectors Protect Your System
Many antivirus and security-software manufacturers have since added at least some rudimentary level of rootkit detection to their products, but there have been a number of free, standalone rootkit detection tools that have been in use for some time. In this article, I examine six of the more prevalent standalone applications, and talk about their relative merits and abilities.

Am I the only one that finds it amusing that two rootkits sound like vulgar arconyms?

WSJ/Walter S. Mossberg: Vista: Worthy, Largely Unexciting
After months of testing Vista on multiple computers, new and old, I believe it is the best version of Windows that Microsoft has produced. However, while navigation has been improved, Vista isn't a breakthrough in ease of use. Overall, it works pretty much the same way as Windows XP. Windows hasn't been given nearly as radical an overhaul as Microsoft just applied to its other big product, Office.

I'm using Windows, Windows, Windows 386...
