10 Best IT Products Of 2006

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."

wow what a spammy website

[Anonymous Coward]

Adblock Plus blocked 44 out of 90 objects on each page (not including referrer links or sponsor links!)

so >50% of each page is adverts and then the "article" (if i can call it that) is spread over 10 pages, i guess there is no dignity on that site

adding content must be so inconvenient them, at what point does a site go from providing a quality service to becoming a spam linkfarm ?

thank goodness for adblock and a hostsfile, good example of how to piss off a visitor

They didn't have an OS category last year

or the year before that.
So it seems to me that this new "best operating system" category was tailor-made for Vista. Add to that the fact that Vista is being named product of the year for a year where it's been available for companies for less than a month, hardly enough time for companies to migrate, and it looks to me like a marketing puff piece written, or funded, by Microsoft.
