funny, I was just musing to myself at how the headlines/attitudes have changed 
(humor intended):

*  Linucks what?
*  Linux making inroads in the server world
*  Linux faster than Windows (but who cares)
*  Linux stealing server market share from Sun and some Windows
*  Why the Linux Desktop Will Never Take Off
*  Why the Linux Desktop Hasn't Taken Off
and then todays:
