Daniel,

I take back what I said. Going back to the web site and reading the blurb, I had overlooked that the readers voted for the products (not just nominated them). And considering that, I agree that it is harder to get enough votes to attain a good placing when you are in minor player than when everyone knows about you.

In the same way, I expect McDonalds would place well in favourite places to eat compared to the local diner - even though no one would claim McDs is the kind of place we would like all eateries to copy.

I had mistakenly assumed that the products were nominated, and the "judges" had then assessed the products themselves.

Congratulations Apple. I'm sure you know what you are doing with your marketing strategies. Who knows what you have planned.

Ray.

Ray,

I think this an achievement considering: the lack or inadequate marketing job from Apple and the small amount of people who use WO.

Even in my case, who I'm a convinced developer of this tool I never vote for WO in this or any other poll. I asked many other WO developer from other companies if they voted in this poll and none of them using this tool voted for WO. Considering this facts, I think that get a first place in any category is a great success, I think that we can expect to have more first/second places for the next year.

What is clear is that Apple has none experience/success to market products in the corporate arena and that WO has this success in spite of Apple.
