    has Linux actually improved over the last year in any real way?
    I have a feeling better things will come in 2003.

    ...that Lindows was forced to release their customer's e-mail addresses under the MS trademark suit (in the January section of the timeline). It's far worse than the jokes that would result if VA Linux decided to sell the addresses of people who use Hotmail & MSN for their Slashdot accounts (and not just the dummy accounts, mind you).

    What I miss in the timeline, and what I find the most striking thing that happened to Linux in the past year is the many stories we heard about gouvernments and also other large organisations migrating to Linux, or researching the merits of a move from Microsoft to Linux. This in relation to (I think) the new MS licenses. I have a feeling 2003 will be a difficult year for MS.
