Only software giant Microsoft has more software solutions on the list, published in the June issue of the magazine. Once a year, the technical experts and editors at Windows Magazine revisit the thousands of products reviewed over the past year and consider each based on its innovation, ability to meet real business needs, cost-effectiveness, ease of use and the vendor's service and support. Then rigorous scrutiny is applied to determine which of these products merit the top honors of hardware and software products of the year. In addition, on a monthly basis, Windows Magazine editors test, evaluate, and compare hundreds of hardware and software products. Only the best rise to the WinList.
Products remain on the list as long as they lead their categories.
