Winner - Quicken 6/QuickImpôts
How is a family to afford a PC with all the trimmings? By carefully managing its money with a home finance package. Intuit's Quicken 6 was commended not only for its budget-balancing and forecasting features, but for QuickTax, included with Quicken Deluxe in the UK, and sold separately as QuickImpôts and QuickSteuer in Germany which is localised for the tax system in each country.

Finalist - Kai's Power Goo
This product by MetaTools makes you go EEEEWWWW. Kai Kraus playful interface sets the stage for photographic finger painting. It serves absolutely no useful function. And everyone who sees it loves it.

Finalist - Family Tree Maker
Databases may sound scary, but they can play an amazingly useful role in home applications. Brøderbund's Family Tree Maker, launched in Europe this year, manages not only family trees but photographs and video clips to create multimedia records.
