Nikkei BP Presents "PC Best Software Awards"
Tokyo -- September 27, 2001 -- The eleven PC magazines
published by Nikkei Business Publications (Nikkei Personal
Computing, Nikkei Byte, Nikkei Click, Nikkei WinPC, Nikkei
Best PC, Nikkei PC21, Nikkei Net Navigator, Nikkei Mobile
Computing, Nikkei Software, Nikkei PC Beginners and Nikkei
Net Trading) commended the winners of the 14th "PC Best
Software Awards" during WORLD PC EXPO 2001.
This year, awards were presented to fourteen software products
chosen on a popularity vote by 1.9 million readers and subscribers
of the eleven magazines (= "PC Best Software Awards") as well
as to selections by the eleven editorial departments of twelve
excellent software products that symbolize the trend of the past
year (= "Editors' Choice Awards") and three that have explored
new arenas of personal computing (= "Business Impact Awards").
For PC Best Software Awards, votes were sent in from
approximately 30,000 readers and subscribers to choose the best
software in a total of fourteen categories, based on the number of
collected votes and the average score of evaluation.
Notable about this year's PC Best Software Awards was that the
top software products were the same from last year in thirteen
categories. Microsoft continued to boast its overwhelming
popularity in the field of basic business software with its products
winning the top spot in six categories (Microsoft Word, Microsoft
Excel, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Visual Basic, Microsoft
Outlook Express, Microsoft Windows 2000). Furthermore,
CD-R recording software and digital camera-related software
improved their ranks considerably in the systems utility category
and the home utility category, respectively.
