In my first SuitWatch Newsletter, on September 5, 2002, I wrote this: "A funny thing happened to Linux on its way to World Domination: it succeeded. That's the good news; the bad news is its success has hit a few hitches, and it's unclear how long those hitches will last."
The biggest hitch - dominating PCs the way Linux has dominated servers and embedded devices - is still around, almost five years later. And it will remain a hitch as long as hardware OEMs continue to follow Microsoft instead of lead the marketplace.
