     To their credit, PW only reports shipping apps.  It may often be that
the review looks at pre-release or beta software, and the app counts will
be updated when the tool finally ships.  I know that in the reviews I've
written for various trade publications, I often get beta software to review.
The vendor wants the review to be the latest and greatest, so you get lots of
"almost there" tools to review.
