My opinion:
While getting award is important process, and should be going always, it's 
wrong to put it on top priority.

If people judge only by awards, Windows 2000 will be _the only_ choice.

Linux still distributed by the word, between people talking to each other.
Any kind of award is important, but other people's opinion is much more 
important here.
