Readers ask: Why does vaporware Windows 2000 get all the
coverage when great products like Netware 5 and Linux are

“… I am disgusted with the magazine’s habit of ignoring
Linux…. your November 17 issue on Windows NT 5.0 mentions Linux
just once in the Pipeline section. Windows NT 5.0 got 11 full
pages. Windows is the main OS in the PC market, so it rightly gets
the most attention. However, that doesn’t excuse the fact that
you’re giving a product that doesn’t yet exist more than 500 times
the coverage of Linux, which is the world’s fastest-growing
operating system.”
