"The World Class Award winners represent an all-star line-up of the year's best products," said Kevin McKean, editorial director of PC World. "Throughout the year, the editors scout outstanding players in hardware and software for our readers. These awards honor the finest the industry has to offer -- from solid veterans to stand-out rookies." Celebrating its 18th year, the respected World Class Awards honor the top hardware, software, and Web products in the computer industry. To select the best of the best, PC World's editors, testers and contributors examined the entire gamut of products that have appeared in the magazine over the past year. Hundreds of products in more than 70 categories were judged on performance, value, consistency and innovation. The World Class Award winners were announced in the July 2000 issue of PC World and will be presented with trophies at an award ceremony to be held during PC Expo in New York.
