The claim is that someone decided that a survey must be held that NT could win. This is because OS/2 has won for the last 5 years and IBM doesn't buy as much advertising space for OS/2 as Microsoft does for NT.
The impression is that you have to cater to the whims of your major advertisers.
I might be wrong, but didn't your magazine run a test comparing NT/Novell/OS/2/Solaris in which Novell won? And no one is going to argue that NT workstation is technically more advanced than OS/2.
That's what most of these posts are about. These readers are technically proficient and aware of more than just the most pushed product.
Otherwise, why would an inferior product win in a survey of technically advanced readers?
I believe that the comparison to auto mags was made last time this came up. Many of us drive Fords and Chevys but sales and ads don't make a product the best. Engineering and attention to detail are worth more.
