10 Best IT Products Of 2006

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i-do-so-love-a-top-ten-list dept.

digihome writes "CRN.com chooses the ten best new products of 2006, including the best development tools, server, notebook and storage device. Some of the choices may surprise you ... such as their choice for operating system of the year." From the article: "With Windows Vista, Microsoft has refreshed the user desktop experience. While debate rages over whether the five-year wait was worth it, the truth is Vista is pretty much the only game in town. One may question whether Vista should be bestowed with Product of the Year recognition in the operating system category. But the product unquestionably brings new features and capabilities to solution providers that in turn promise new revenue generation dialogues with end users."

      My crowbar should get product of the year. I use it to engage in revenue generating dialogue with random people on the street.

      I took me a while to figure it out, but this is the best Engish translation I can come up with:

      The mangling of the English language for no good reason really sucks though. Revenue generation dialogues indeed. Why don't these arseholes just disappear up their own arseholes and do us all a favour.
