If we had allowed all of Microsoft's employees to vote, you surely would have cried foul. Remember that InfoWorld is written for IS managers in various businesses -- but not the IT industry (software developers, chip makers, and systems manufacturers, and the like). We try to let our target readers vote -- once a year -- on the products that they choose and use. We disqualified all vendors -- big and small. I don't see how that makes our conclusions less statistically valid given who we say our audience is.
