Jesse Berst slams Microsoft for their failure to produce NT.
Several Linux mentions in this article.

“Talk about bad timing. In the midst of fraud allegations
negative antitrust publicity and a mounting assault from the rival
Linux camp, we discover that Microsoft is going to break its
promise. Again. Is likely to delay release of Windows 2000.
Again.”

“What’s a poor customer to do? More and more of them are
answering that question with ‘switch to Linux.’ And choosing Linux
over NT will get even easier next month when Compaq partners with
Red Hat Software to preload Linux on its servers and to offer 24×7
support.”
