Windows 7 got a boost from the Techradar Awards this afternoon after it trounced its rival Apple's Snow Leopard Operating System to win the software category.
Okay so Apple did win 8 out of the 17 awards including the Essential phone of the year for the iPhone 3Gs, so Steve Jobs won't exactly be crying into his latte. But still it's a coup for Microsoft who invested a lot into getting this Operating System right.
The awards were voted for by readers and the other big winner of the UK-based site's awards was the BBC iPlayer which scooped the "Most essential online innovation award" as well as being voted the "Most innovative home entertainment platform".

While Apple still won several accolades—like 8 out of the 17 awards and even taking home the Essential http://www.shinyshiny.tv/2010/04/a_win_for_windows_7.html# of the year for the iPhone 3Gs—it's still a major win for Microsoft. This win highlights Microsoft's significant investment in perfecting Windows 7, which clearly resonated with both readers and industry insiders at the UK-based awards.
