The State of Linux 2006 (Tom's Hardware)

Tom's Hardware has published a "state of Linux" article. It is lengthy, but still on the superficial side. "In days gone by, the personification of Linux might have conjured up the image of a hotshot college kid full of half-baked ideas and sharp edges. But that college kid has now graduated into the business world, and unleashed his furious entrepreneurial spirit. Today, Linux has a sharper, more refined edge than before, and has branched out into private, public, enterprise and governmental sectors. Linux also spans all manner of hardware platforms, and serves an incredibly wide variety of purposes."

Now brings up the article. I guess the UK site to which I was redirected must be a mirror which syncs after a delay.
