Delphi Informant杂志 2003年度读者选择大奖名单(1)
Readers Choice By Jerry Coffey Shuffling the Deck Delphi Informant Magazine Readers Choice Awards 2003 Last year's Delphizine.com/opinion/2002/06/di200206jc_o/di200206jc_o.ASP">Readers Choice Awards seemed to indicate that, after many years of volatility, the pace of change had slowed significantly in the Delphi third-party tools marketplace. For example, in the 25 categories last year, 19 featured repeat winners from the previous year. Then TurboPower Software Delphizine.com/news/2003/01/di200301TurboPower_n/di200301TurboPower_n.ASP">dropped a bombshell in January of this year, announcing they were no longer doing business as a vendor in the Delphi arena. Although TurboPower made their decision for reasons that had nothing to do with Delphi (see Delphizine.com/opinion/2003/08/di200308fn_o/di200308fn_o.ASP">Alan Moore's interview of TurboPower's President Gary Frerking), the announcement sent shock waves through the Delphi community. And because TurboPower had 10 prodUCts in nine categories, our Readers Choice Awards were deeply affected as well. In brief, you can eXPect to see some new prodUCts moving into the spotlight in TurboPower's absence. And there's certainly no shortage of prodUCts; this year's ballot featured 299, up from last year's 228. In addition, we're always tweaking the categories to make them more accurately reflect the great diversity of prodUCts in the Delphi third-party marketplace. To that end, we've added three new ones: Security Tool, Team/Project Tool, and Web Host, so there are now 28. So let's get to it! Best Accounting Package Broken tie. Last year, ColumbuSoft's Accounting for Delphi tied for first place with BS/1 (from Davis Business Systems Ltd.). This year however, Accounting for Delphi emerged as the clear winner with 33% of the vote, besting runner-up BS/1 with 23%. Bravo (from Bravosoft) takes third place for the third year in a row.
