Even putting aside the issue of OS/2, listen to what you say above:
Furthermore, the overall and Internet awards went to Netscape Navigator 3.0 -- unquestionably the leader of a category that we felt would soon be obsolete and so did not give an Editors' Choice award to.
That doesn't sound like a "Readers' Choice" poll at all...it sounds like "InfoWorld Editors' Choice" awards.
If you're not happy the result, you just change it, or hold a closed poll.
Maybe you should just be honest about it, and call it the "Advertisers' Choice Awards."
