Xara X has won an Honorable Mention Web Tools Award during the Web2001 Conference!! Yes, I know, you are probably saying things like "big deal. Honorable mention, la dee da."

Yeah, well, for the less-impressed among you, the Web Tools awards are one of the industry's big events. It's all polite clapping, finger sandwhiches, and faux crystal trophies (read glass).

And if that doesn't impress you, then how about this: We beat CorelDraw 10. We beat Macromedia Freehand 10. We beat Deneba Canvas 8 Pro. OK, we lost to Adobe Photoshop 6, but we beat all of the pure vector graphics packages nominated! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif[/img]

And we won because of you. A little over a month ago, I placed a link in TalkGraphics to a poll on WebTechniques. Your votes, as well as the editor's general appreciation of Xx helped clinch it for us.

So for all of you who voted, for all of you that cared, and to all of you who use Xara X,

thank you
