Ziff Davis, the largest computer
magazine publisher in the world, easily took first, due to its unequaled
collection of top notch shareware and freeware, in-depth reviews, accurate
ratings, user ratings, and overall design and layout. |

Debuting in 1995, this site became THE
place on the web for anything computer related. Their Shareware.com
site nearly equals ZDNet's functionality, and is a must see. Their
Top 10 lists are probably the most identifiable on the web. |

Basically, its ZD Net without the snazzy layout and design. Also, it
has a far narrower user base, which means generally faster download times,
especially during peak download times, than our top two choices. |

This site has quite the identifiable cult following.
It's new interface might be enough to make it #1 in our list next year.
It is EASILY the fastest site reviewed. The reason for it's incredible
speed is in it's revelutionary new download strategy. It's shareware
selection and reviews are also fodder of legend, and I promise you, you
will NOT have a cow if you visit this site.... |

You are bound to find shareware here that you
can't find anywhere else on the net. Wisely chosen programs are at
your disposal here, with notably well done catagories, makes finding files
a sinch. Well done kiddie area. |

This site specializes in screen savers, desktop themes, and wallpaper.
A very neat, well layed out, and fast site. |

This site has gained quite the popular following
since 1996, authored by a brain-child who has, self-admittedly, way too
many letters before his name: LPC, MA, CADC, and CCS. If you are
as confused as I was when I read this talented man's biography, don't fret...
just click over to this gem... you wont be sorry. |
