The following notes about WinRadio merit a mention:
* the  miniaturization of a wide-band scanner *and* a shortwave
  receiver on a single-slot standard PC card - a world-first, to the
  best of my knowledge.  And "firsts" are always worthy of a special
  mention; horn-blowing and hoopla.
* WinRadio succeeds in defeating PC generated noise, and made it
  possible, to put a wide-band receiver inside a PC - another first!
* a unique user interface that is powerful, intuitive and simple to
  use, designed for Windows users.  Not a first, but still all class.
* the overall package is attractive and immediately useable by
  newcomers as well as pro's.
* with its universal appeal (and yes, some of it *is* thanks to "marketing
  hype"), WinRadio attempts to bring the entire spectrum of hobby radio
  down to the PC-user masses, a perhaps rather Quixotic attempt, nevertheless
  one that aims at enlarging the number of radio amateurs - at the time when
  their numbers are diminishing and when radio is decidedly going out of
  fashion
