I am unable to review the product PC World, I haven't heard anything from the publisher or received a copy yet.

I had been subscribed to PC World directly for quite a few years. Upon renewing for the next two years, suddenly their subscription department decided to send me two issues monthly and then quitting altogether. There was no way to get a personalized answer out of them, so I quit.
So much for the `straightforward' way to subscribe to the magazine.
The magazine is worth the couple of bucks - if you choose any of the special rates offered - if you obediently read it front to back, because most of the good stuff is hidden deep inside the articles.
The front pagers ("100 ways to...") are usually rehashed stuff, and it seems that sometimes the reviewers are heavily brand-biased (Dell / IBM Pentiums / Norton / etc.).
I fully agree with the various comments that "building your own" is the best way to go. After a nightmarish experience with a Compaq, directly from the local distributor, I will never buy an off-the-shelf computer again.
PC World should cater more to those tech-minded newbies who put in different brands into their machines.
... and then I'll probably subscribe again to a paper product.

Great magazine for those who are not tech professionals, or who have just started in a tech field, who want to stay on top of the latest products, ideas, and technology news. Good troubleshooting tips for your computer, software programs, and other electronics as well. Loved it so much I decided to order a year's subscription. ***DO NOT ORDER THIS FROM AMAZON. I ORDERED THE MAG SEPT 7TH AND AS OF DEC 3RD I AM STILL WAITING FOR IT. Amazon is a reliable party, however the subscriptions are outsourced to others. If you have a problem with a subscription order, it is not handled through Amazon.*** UPDATE: Finally received 1st issue in late December and the subscription was backdated to continue through Nov 2006. However, if you want quicker delivery, order a subscription elsewhere.
Excellent magazine for novices and advanced users alike March 13, 2005

When I bought PC World at a store, the cover looked appealing. It had an advice on how to surf the Internet trouble free. So I brought it home and started reading it. I was amazed! I have never read a magazine cover to cover before, but I read this one word for word. This mag is filled with tons of reviews of best software and new gadgets. It also has unbiased articles written in a balanced simple English and technical language on computing in general. Perhaps the best part about the magazine is the CD they include with it. iT is filled with PC World recommended software that will make your life much easier.
IF you never heard of PC World, you don't know what you're missing. Go to the nearest store and ask for the copy. You'll be glad you did
