On Friday, I attended the annual luncheon in New York at which American Business Media bestows its Jesse H. Neal awards. The Neals have been called the Pulitzers of the business press--and I'm thrilled to report that PC World received two of 'em this year--one for our ongoing coverage of Windows Vista, and another for my Techlog editorials. I'm also honored and humbled by the fact that I received the Timothy White Award, an ABM honor named after the late editor-in-chief of Billboard who was a fearless critic of the industry he covered.
More details on all of the above here.
(Note: I served as the chairman of this year's Neal competition--but wasn't involved in any category in which PCW or any of our competitors were nominees.)
WEll leave it to Microsoft to screw up a great platform. Seems as though they can't get people to buy into Vista as the best system so they are going to force people to change by taking off the market the one platform that works well & is preferred by the majority. One can only believe that Microsoft wants to re coop their development costs on Vista even with all its negative features. If they would design a platform that was stable, security safe & easy to use, then people would buy into changing, but not me.
