issue 11 of Linux News from WGS is out
http://www.LinuxMall.com/announce/lxnews.011.html
from the editor's section:
Anyone who doesn't think that Linux is taking off, hasn't looked at the
evidence. Commercial software is coming out of the woodwork; so is more
freeware and GNU software. You will find references strewn throughout this
newsletter to both sorts of software. You should also take a look at the
commercial software on the "New software at the Linux Mall" list at:
http://www.LinuxMall.com/newprods.html for products like Corel WordPerfect
version 7, Visix Vibe Java IDE, which recently won IDE of the year from
Unix Review Magazine, TalentSoft Web +, WebCheck, and much more. In
addition we have included some software announcements below in the news
section.
While Microsoft adapts the X-Window system to NT and calls it Win-Term,
and continues to adapt NT to Posix standards a step at a time... they
still have a long way to go in reaching their stated goal of creating a
better Unix than Unix. A long time ago it was stated that "those that do
not accept Unix are doomed to reproduce it", Microsoft appears to be
slowly proving this.
BUT: Why wait? Apparently even SCO thinks Linux is rather important: note
that SCO has recently released 'lxrun', an emulator which runs Linux
binaries (both a.out and ELF) on OpenServer and UnixWare systems. lxrun
release 0.8.6 is freely available in both binary and source versions at:

Also see what IEEE thinks below. Yup, definitely major motion behind the
scenes!
