Congratulations to the maker of this tool! Its now even more famous!

You know what?
WinXP Power Packer has been featured in a printed magazine publication. And a pretty big one at that.

PC Quest (published in India)
September 2005
Page 61
Homepage on the web
Version reviewed: RC3




In the one-page article, they mention Bashrat The Sneaky's DriverPacks as well.

WOW! That is awsome!!!

Anybody want my autograph?? LOL!

BTW... Do they sell this magazine in American stores? I got to get a copy somehow.

Sure! You a star now

Hmmm... This magazine DOES get exported to the gulf, Australia & a few western countries as well. Probably some big bookstore in your city has this on sale.


But if you don't manage to get hold of the printed magazine, here's the online archive of the same:
1. Go to - http://pcquest.com/archive/listArchive.asp?mode=seek
2. Select September 2005.
3. Click this article - Pack Power into Windows - Sanjay Majumder

If you want direct link to article - http://pcquest.com/content/search/showarti...74697&mode=disp
(it will be PUBLICLY readable after 45 days of publication - they do this so that paid subscribers get an exclusive service)


If you would like, then I can post photos of the magazine cover & the page where this review appears, etc.

I would appreciate that a lot! Thanks!

I wouldn't mind seeing those scans/pics either...

Here they are:





This is only a quick photo of the pages. I might post a high-resolution scan later...
You might like to save & store them somewhere, cuz the above link may not always be up.

In the article above (pic #2) - the top 2 screenshots are of the program.
The bottom 2 screenshots are of the multi-boot menu, running within Virtual PC.

btw, PC Quest is a magazine which has been around since 23 years. Almost everyone who works in the IT field in this country, recognises it. They claim to have around a lakh subscribers, and readership/circulation figures is well around the 1 million mark.

Wow! That's great... Congrats!

I can almost read it. Thanks for the scan. If you can get higher res scan of it... it would really be great. I can't wait to read the article.

Thanks again prathapml!

this has been long overdue!
hope to see this in more magazines!

Thx! Me Too!

Looks like the online review is working now.

I like the reviews it got! Direct Hit!

Yes, the online link to article is working now....
But the descriptions of screenshots is mixed up with a different linux article!

Yeah I noticed that.

Is Direct Hit the highest rating?

No, "direct hit" is not a rating!
Its a quick summary of the article, with all the important details in a few lines. Its made for people who want to read all articles quickly - they can see the "direct hit" box, & decide if the review is about something they are interested in, or not.
That way, they need not read the whole page to know what its about, & can read only the articles they are interested in, to save time.

OH ok. That sounds logical. I still haven't been able to get a copy of the mag.
I tried to order it... but I was sent the october issue instead.

lol, you'd think if you wrote to them saying "Hi, you reviewed my program in your magazine. Can I please get a copy of that issue?" that they'd oblige you.

LOL! Tried that too! Emailed them and got no reply back.

lol, This program appears in the Issue 68 of pc-utilities...

u can view the site at


This mag is 1 of the major mags in the uk...

Wow! Mag 2! That's awsome!!!

Congratulations

But...

hehe... yeah I saw that. But how often do people download from there anyways?

Well... I got a copy of the PC Utilities Magazine. Looks really good! Only flaw in it is that it says that you need to download the driverpack files and extract them with 7zip... which is a no no. Other then that... it is a full page review and it is a very good review as well.

Any other magazines you guys have seen it in???
