2004 Reader's Choice Award Winners

Subscribers voted on best products in key technology categories

Palo Alto, May 21, 2004—Fawcette Technical Publications is pleased to announce the winners of the second annual Windows Server System Magazine Reader's Choice Awards.

"Every year we poll our subscribers to track their experiences with and attitudes toward IT technology," Lynne Matthes Publisher of Windows Server System Magazine explains. "It's of great interest to editors and the vendor community to find out what products subscribers believe are the very best. Congratulations to our winners and runners up in all 41 categories; it was a tough field with a lot of very great products."

"Reader's Choice Awards are significant because they offer Windows Server System Magazine subscribers an opportunity to voice their opinion about the products they find most useful in their work," says Executive Editor Mark Cappel. "Subscribers are technical experts with strong opinions. These Reader's Choice Awards provide them with an opportunity to express those opinions and share their expertise."

The Windows Server System Magazine Reader's Choice Awards were conducted through an e-mail survey sent out on May 3, to subscribers of Windows Server System Magazine. For more information contact Fawcette Technical Publications, Inc.
