    Check the results better, they're not only the best reporting tool but: Product
    of the year for second consecutive year.
    Extracted from the page:
    "t's déjà vu all over again in this penultimate category as well. Digital
    Metaphors' ReportBuilder retains the
    crown with 11% of the votes (last year it had 10%),"

    Greetings:

    More software companies should take lessons from
    Digital-Metaphors. RBuilder won the best in category for several
    reasons, including a great product, top-notch customer service, a
    reasonable pricing structure, a fantastic upgrade policy, and great
    support.

    I have seen some very good products crash because they could
    not get the entire equation working. Hats off to the entire
    organization!

    Great post, Mike. And thanks to everyone for voting. We are so busy coding
    the Server Edition that I didn't even see this post until this morning!

    Product of the Year - 4 years in a row.
    Best Reporting Tool - 4 years in a row.

    No company has ever done this in the history of the awards.

    This is a tribute to all of you who have voted and kept voting! We do our
    best to turn the great ideas and the problems that you bring to us into
    solutions that everyone can use. If we can't get something in the product
    immediately, we try to provide a reasonable workaround so you can keep
    moving forward. Our hope, of course, is that you will be happy enough to
    recommend us to other developers - that drives sales and gives us the
    resources necessary to keep enhancing the product. So far this strategy
    seems to be working, and it's all thanks to you, our customers and
    collaborators!

    In 2002 we expect to complete the biggest release since Subreports (3.0) or
    DADE (4.0) or RAP (5.0). It's the Server Edition, and shows our recognition
    that web solutions are now fully mainstream and demand is high. If you will
    be attending BorCon, please come by the Vendor Showcase on:

    Wednesday, May 22
    1:00 pm - 2:15 pm
    Room 303D

    This presentation isn't some slide show; it's a full-blown live coding
    session on a real LAN, using the Server Edition to go from Delphi reporting
    app to web reporting app. So if you're going to be there, be sure to come
    by and see us.

    Thanks again for making these awards happen - it's going to be a top-notch
    2002, and we look forward to working with you throughout!
