PC World is giving out awards for the Best
Products of 1999. Linux gets the award for “most promising
software newcomer”.
“… this was the year Linux emerged as a legitimate competitor
to Microsoft Windows… Thanks to a worldwide team of talented,
unpaid programmers, Linus Torvalds’s brainchild is stable,
powerful, and… free.”
“… this underdog could end up being Bill Gates’s worst
nightmare.”
