The full results appear in the July issue of the magazine and are online now.

If you take a look, you%squotll notice under the Internet section that no winner was named for Best Web Browser. PC World Senior Associate Editor Brad Grimes says that it was a two-horse race between Microsoft%squots Internet Explorer 4 and Netscape%squots Communicator 4, but neither, in the opinion of the magazine%squots editors, merits an award.

While it%squots not yet in the same league as Microsoft%squots or Netscape Communications%squot offering, the latest version of the Opera Web browser from Opera software was named winner of the PC World Most Promising Web Newcomer award.
