That's an apple to oranges comparison I suscribe to Maximum PC, and my other monthly computer mags to recieve exclusive content. Articles only found in those magazines.

Windrivers certainly doesn't offer any exclusive content. It's a redirect service that is exceptionally organized. The question becomes is finding everything you need from one really great portal site worth the yearly subscribtion. For me the answer is no. (at least not at $30 a year. At $5.00 or even $10 a year I'd sign up)

A better comparison would be if anandtech or Tom's hardware suddenly became subscription sites because they are in essence online hardware magazines. If they started charging, I'd be more likely to pay a subscription then here at windrivers.
