I'll bet they don't call all those numbers to see if they're real. ;-}

Places I've worked in the past, it was routine to ask all employees to vote
for company products. IBM would probably be embarrassed to do so, but many
companies have no shame.

No one has asked me to vote for IBM products, but then again, IBM is a big
company. Perhaps some in the Software Group associated with particular
products have been so instructed, but perhaps not. I seem to recall some
controversy over Oracle encouraging votes for some of their newer (J2EE)
products, but I could be mis-remembering that.
As for IBM, I wouldn't relish trying to get 300,000 people to do anything
quietly :)

P.S. Obviously, none of us (those on this NG) needs much convincing to vote
for Eclipse :)
