In fact, it scored more page views than any other SearchWin2000.com featured topic ever! But it wasn't without controversy. Many of you e-mailed to thank us while others wrote expressing confused curiosity as to why we had left out what you considered to be obvious candidates for the top 10 and honorable mentions. We confess -- our process was completely unscientific and totally subjective. We polled our experts and contributors; then, with a large measure of editorial license, made our selections. The choice wasn't easy -- and obviously there are many more worthwhile candidates out there on the Web. So we want to hear from you. Send us your favorite Web sites for Windows admins, and tell us why you like them. We'll follow up with a 'reader's choice' featured topic. Stay tuned. ~Christine  Featured Topic: Crash course: Software Update Services by Marilyn Cohodas, Senior Site Editor Microsoft's free Software Update Services is one of the most popular tools in the Windows toolbox.
