Thanks, you've brought up a very good question. What the heck does "Readers' Choice" mean, anyway. Does it mean "the products that the readers have actually purchased and chosen to use?" If so, then the survey questions would have to be worded accordingly. Otherwise, you could call a guy who happily administers a 100-user NetWare 3.12 network, but who hasn't felt a need to install NT Server, and still get a vote for NT Server because (1) NetWare 3.12 is an old product, and (2) NT Server seems to have a lot of momentum, from what he's read in InfoWorld.
What, exactly, was the wording of the survey questions, anyway? If not you, can someone else please provide a link to a page showing this?
I have some serious doubts about this whole thing. What the heck is up with the top 5 overall winners? How did "other" come in 4th, but NT Server finish 5th? Does this mean that those surveyed were only given 4 choices (Navigator, Jaz drive, NTWS, NTS) plus "other?" Otherwise, wouldn't you logically put NTS as the 4th place finisher, and then put in the actual 5th place finisher? Something just doesn't make sense.
And are Jaz drives selling like hotcakes or what?
