These awards are limited to companies that gross at least half a
billion dollar in sales?  The only innovation worth noting comes from
large corporations?  Now that's a twist!

I know an awful lot of companies under the $0.5 Billion mark who do an
awful lot of technical innovating that the over $0.5 Billion companies
*later* copy.

I wonder why the "You Must Be This Tall To Ride This Ride" restriction
that pretty much keeps the contenders only Fortune 500 companies?  Is
PC Week looking to milk the winners out of some advertising dollars?
