TS 2068: Software Reviews
Software reviews were cornerstone content in computing magazines and user group newsletters, guiding readers through an expanding marketplace of commercial and shareware programs. These evaluations provided crucial consumer guidance in an era when software purchases represented significant investments and returns or exchanges were often impossible.
Reviewers often compared similar applications, highlighting strengths and weaknesses of competing word processors, spreadsheets, or games.
Beyond consumer advice, these reviews documented the evolution of software design and capabilities. They celebrated innovations while criticizing poor implementations, ultimately influencing industry standards. For many enthusiasts, these reviews also served as informal tutorials, revealing features and techniques they might otherwise miss in the often sparse documentation of the era.
