According to PC Data's list of the 10 best-selling business software titles in
June, IBM's Antivirus (#8) pulled ahead of McAfee Viruscan (#9) as the
top-selling antivirus software. The PC Data list is compiled from 42 retail
and mail order chains representing more than 70% of the U.S. market.
By the way, System Commander (from V Communications) ranked #1 just ahead of
DOS (#2). Red Hat Linux scored at #4. Obviously there's tremendous interest
(and tremendous sales) of non-Windows operating systems, a story which perhaps
should be more reported. (Neither Windows 95 nor Windows NT appeared on the
list.)
