Windows Magazine was founded in 1990. It was sold to CMP Media in 1991. By 1999, it had a paidcirculation of 800,000 and a staff of 45, but its last hardcopy issue was published in August 2002. Before the magazine was shuttered, it created Winmag.com in July 1999. UBM could not monetize a million clicks a month, so the website was shuttered on March 19, 2001. Winmag.com redirects to InformationWeek.com, which does not host any actual winmag.com content.
