[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1910693, member: 38864"] LOL! Man, I strongly advise not to trust anything in PC Magazine. Long before my Mac days, I was a Windows enthusiast involved in a Usenet group for Windows users helping other users like this site does. One observation I and others had made was that PC Magazine is HEAVILY biased to their advertisers. They literally look for excuses to give them their "coveted" Editor's Choice Award for various reasons. I still recall one time they gave Norton Antivirus an award over a competitor because they liked the user interface better. It performed more poorly compared to that competitor and some of the others, but HEY! We like it anyway! Now does that even make sense? Recommending the product that can't perform its core function better than the others? Seriously... they would do a "review" of, say a dozen products in a category, and give an Editor's Choice Award to half of them for one reason or another. Of course then all these companies would turn around and tout that their product won an award. It's a scam... all of it. [/QUOTE]
