• Macworld USA review, October 1997, 5 stars/9.1 out of 10
  "As a package that's both friendly to beginners and capable of handling Census Bureau-size data sets, Data Desk Plus 6.0 is a triumph."
• InfoWorld, June 16, 1997
  "DataDesk Plus is by far the best Windows package for in-depth data exploration. Also, DataDesk Plus is easily the best Windows statistics package for teaching statistics, even without the ActivStats CD-ROM, which I would recommend as a tutorial or refresher for anyone."
• PC Week USA, May 28, 1997, Analyst's Choice
  "Released last week after several years as PCWeek Lab's top-ranked statistics tool for the Macintosh, Data Desk should be tried by anyone who wants to focus on questions and answers instead of mathematics and methods."
