You've thrown out a cross-section of your readership who happen to work for hard/software companies. Since we consult with clients who are in the set you polled and recommend choices shouldn't our voices be included? Some of us have to recommend other hardware/software products to arrive at a list of options to present to our clients; however, by your standards we are not qualified to be included in a poll. Just because a company decides to go with the market leader doesn't mean that it was the consultant's choice of product. FUD plays a big role here.

Your intentions were good to throw out hardware/software companies to prevent ballot stuffing but I feel that the cure is worse than the possibility of contracting the disease.
