From CNN.com's 2003 "Technology Year in Review"
Mainstream Linux: Analysts say Linux poses a threat to computer giant Microsoft. The operating system alternative to Microsoft Windows has had a successful year and boasts software that is more secure.
Chairman Bill Gates announced at the Comdex convention, in what has been seen as a move to compete with the growing popularity of Linux, the company's development of a new security program called "Longhorn."
