History

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." Neither of these nor ''Windows Sources'' were among ''Ziff Davis'''s top three earners. In 1996, when ''Ziff'' made available online "11,000 reviews from the last 18 months of Ziff-Davis magazines" ''Windows Sources'' was one of the top 3 in what was searchable. In 1997 they published "Microsoft Word 97 for Windows Superguide."
