I watched with interest the small crop of awards Drupal has been nominated for so far this year. There's no question Drupal, as a piece of software, is taking off at an incredible rate. But the most interesting one for me was the LinuxWorld Product Excellence Awards 2008.

Drupal 6.x was been nominated for Best Business Application. It lost, to an ERP system called xTuple, but it was one of three products nominated - and the key here is the category. Best Business Application.
