Windows 98 did get a few best-product nominations, but responses were mostly negative. Buggy, incompatible, and designed to give the knockout punch to Netscape, and little else. One product whose reader comments didn't surprise us was the Apple iMac, which seemed always to incite an argument or two. Some voted it the best, but a majority thought it was the worst. The Web browser Opera also has a lot of fans among our readers.
Competition is good for everyone.
Another surprise was that odes to the omnipresent Palm platform were nowhere to be found. But we doubt that this means Palm enthusiasm has died out, considering the responses we've gotten in the past.
