“It’s a Windows World, but that doesn’t mean the little penguin
will be on ice at Comdex.”

“The alternative operating system will enjoy a very prominent
role at the upcoming Windows World and Comdex/Spring ’99 in
Chicago. This year, the huge computing exhibition will feature a
Linux Pavilion filled with Linux-related products. Its attendees
will be treated to a series of symposia called Linux Global
Summit.”

“In addition, alter egos Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds will hold
back-to-back keynotes — although Microsoft chief Gates will appear
in one venue and Linux creator Torvalds will be in another.”
