第17届Jolt Award终于出炉了

第17届Jolt Award终于出炉了，再这之前，我们再来回顾一下候选选手们。

每一届Jolt Award都是重要的参考，其中的每个奖项都可以是过去一年中的顶级作品，而对于我这种嗜书如命的“书痴”自然不会放过Jolt大奖中评选出来的好书，每年的Jolt Winner和部分Productivity Winner的书我都会从国外购买原版，手不释卷，心情也会相当愉快。不过我在想，放眼望去Jolt Award中尽是美国货，不论书籍或是别的产品。什么时候能够出现中国人的身影呢？

与去年相比，微软公司推出的产品收获少了很多——不过，其实应该这么说，Jolt 2006中微软实在太过风光了。
