Windows Sources
Windows Sources was a magazine by ZDNet. It focused on product reviews rather than 'how to,' and it lasted from 1993[1] – c. 2001.[2]
In 1997 Ziff-Davis Inc. appointed Frank Quigley as the publisher of the magazine.[3] The magazine was later renamed Windows Pro.[4] The headquarters was in New York City.[1] Patrick Norton ran the hardware reviews section. Carlos Carrillo was the Assistant Editor and ran the shareware reviews section.
History
[edit]In 1993, the same year that Windows Sources began, its parent company, Ziff-Davis also acquired a pair of magazines: one focused on "on computer video games" and the other "directed at parents of children who are computer users."[5] Neither of these nor Windows Sources were among Ziff Davis's top three earners.[6]
In 1996, when Ziff made available online "11,000 reviews from the last 18 months of Ziff-Davis magazines"[7] Windows Sources was one of the top 3 in what was searchable. In 1997 they published "Microsoft Word 97 for Windows Superguide."[8]
