Ronny Ko of 32BitsOnline appears to have thrown in the towel on
Linux:

“We’re no longer talking about when Open Source and Linux will
replace Microsoft but whether Linux and Open Source will even be
around after Microsoft releases Windows XP,” he says, and goes on
to argue “let’s face it, I have been running Windows 2000 for quite
some time now. The operating system has been running and running.
It has not crashed once. I’m very, very impressed with its
stability.”

Smart quotes edited out for your reading pleasure.

For those curious about why we’d link to this, we’d
encourage you to consider
the fact LinuxToday has linked to this site over 200 times over the
