Huh?

You tell us that Infoworld doesn't tell us what to like, but asks us. Then why is it that for the last five years OS/2 has won product of the year, but Infoworld articles and news releases (you chose what releases to publish) bombard us with the praises of NT. Yes you ask, but you don't listen to the answers.

Quite frankly, the whole process is difficult. Did we botch it this year? Sure. But, I'm reminded of Churchill's comment about democracy.
Did you botch it every year then?

I'm not saying the first poll was valid. I can tell you that there's no doubt in my mind the second one was botched.

You tell me it's difficult. I believe you. I believe it's to difficult for InfoWorld to handle. I sincerely believe that the reputation of InfoWorld's surveys is so severely tarnished (twice this year) that InfoWorld needs to adbandon the whole idea for a few years.
