The “Innovation of the Year” award is given to products or
technologies which have shown significant innovativeness and impact
through out the year. PC World editors motivated their choice
thus:

“Linux. The ‘Ugly Duckling’ that turned into a beautiful swan
and became – to put it briefly – the most widely used operating
system for Internet servers world wide, despite the marketing
muscle of the larger companies. NT has a tremendous hold on the
market, but Linux is gaining new followers every day, and continues
to find new uses wherever a stable, economical and versatile
operating system is needed.”
