Is there such a thing as a Software Review Site?!

[mad0maxx]

The internet has many sites that review hardware of all types but what about software?

I know there is http://www.toptenreviews.com/ which is pretty good but nothing grand. Any others you guys know?

http://www.download.com
has Editor Reviews on many of it's programs, as well as User reviews on practically everything.

we need a software review site that does more than just rate how good if functions, but also how much resources it uses. Top Ten Reviews show Norton and McAfee as better than PCcillin, but PC-Cillin doesn't use as many resources, which is more important to me.

Yeah, that is a good point because why get a piece of software that slows down your computer to a crawl even though it has the best protection right?

Yea if there was one I would look at it.

Probably, but people just use demos/trial versions to find out if the program works for you.

What about CNET.com or PCMag.com? They have SW sections.
I don't know how good their reviews are.

Norton can kill any computer.

Well, in my opinion:

They both used to be good, then they started sucking on the teat of big business and now their reviews cant be trusted.
Its usually better to come to sites like this and ask about specific programs.
