Desktop Linux: Still a Long Way to Go |
Back in the mid-'90s, my research focused on desktop operating systems. There was a plethora of options for IT organizations, with Mac OS, Windows in the guise of NT and 95, and OS/2 Warp all vying for the attention of IT managers. Even Unix workstation vendors had thoughts of moving beyond scientific and engineering applications to mainstream knowledge worker desktops. But by the late '90s, it felt as if I was doing the color commentary for a horse race whose leader was out in front by 10 furlongs.
