Would have been nice to see a Business Intelligence Category, People like JasperSoft and Pentaho are making great strides in this area.

Am I blind or is there no MTA category this year? I mean, one would think those are sufficient enough to have an award. Mail Client of the year is worthless if they don't have an MTA to deliver the email..

I would like to see a category on document preparation systems, which should include items like: latex, tex, lyx, openoffice writer, KWord, etc.

cengique · 01-15-2009, 11:21 AM

another suggestion is the content management systems like mediawiki, joomla, etc.

MTA was removed a couple years ago as it was consistently one sided.

I know it is not a hardware poll, but netbooks like the Acer Aspire One would be doing heaps to promote linux/limpus as an operating system. I for one think this is a beautifully balanced system.

Torrent clients, document preparation systems, publishing systems, Text Editors, IDEs, CMS, Semantic Web applications, Firewalls, ...
