OCTOBER 26, 1995--ROCKVILLE, MD. OS/2 Professional has announced its
third annual award winners recognizing the best in OS/2 Warp for 1995.
The awards recognize the achievements of individuals, products, and
corporations that have contributed to the growth and productivity of
OS/2 Warp. In the product categories, only new software is eligible. As
such, the many improvements in existing products are not reflected in
this year's awards.
OS/2 Warp remains unique in the Intel hardware market, having supported
multithreaded applications for nearly eight years and object-oriented
32-bit applications since early 1992. According to Editor Bradley D.
Kliewer, "The work and design goals of OS/2 developers have just begun
to bear fruit as Microsoft takes the first baby steps on its long
journey toward an object-oriented system. As IBM and independent OS/2
developers lead, so will the rest of the industry eventually follow."
We are proud to recognize just a few of the people and products who
have established OS/2 Warp as the corporate reference platform for
32-bit computing. As Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Edwin Black asserts,
"We gave our awards to a distinguished few. But the fact is that anyone
who perseveres in OS/2 despite IBM deserves a medal."
OS/2 Professional's highest year-end honors are as follows:
* Best New OS/2 Application -- Colorworks
* Best New OS/2 Utility -- Partition Magic
* Best New Communications Package -- HyperAccess for OS/2
* Best New Backup Program -- BackAgain/2 Pro
* Best New Development Tool -- IBM VisualAge C++
* Best OS/2 Marketing Campaign -- DeScribe Voyager
* Media Award -- Nicholas Petreley (Infoworld)
* Corporate Commitment -- Stardock Systems
* Outstanding IBM Executive -- Steve Mills, general manager
IBM SWS
* Best Hardware -- IBM Butterfly (Thinkpad 701C)
* OS/2 Pro of the Year -- Mark Elliot, VP of Software Marketing
IBM Europe
A full account and listing of previous years' winners can be found
