 Voting for the RISC OS Best of 2004 awards closed yesterday and now, the results are in. For some categories, you probably could have guessed the results, whereas others have turned out a few surprises. The randomly selected winners of Desktop Repton Plus have also been notified by email, and we'll have copies of Alligata Software's top new game in the post to them soon.
And so, on to the moment I'm very sure you've all been waiting for - the results of the public voting, the people's choice of RISC OS in 2004. If you missed the boat and didn't vote, then there's always next year's awards to look forward to. Thanks to everyone who helped us draw up the nominations list, and if you have any suggestions for the 2005 gig, then drop us an email. Of course, a big thank you to everyone who took the time to log in and vote - it's interesting that less than a quarter of our readers regularly log in to read drobe.co.uk.
Remember that the aim of the awards is to recognise those who have helped further RISC OS in 2004. We could be here all night if we tried paying tribute to everyone who has contributed since 1998 or earlier. And without further ado, let's open the golden digital envelope to reveal the winners..

If you read the nominations list, it says the drobe.co.uk editors did. We also listened to suggestions from readers and also consulted others who have followed RISC OS closely in 2004.
