The 2003 Vaporware Awards
by Liza Sabater
Wired News: Vaporware: Nuke 'Em if Ya Got 'Em dishonorable mentions go to SCO for the as-yet-unseen Unix code that the company alleges was ripped off in Linux, and to Microsoft for its "secure computing initiative" and the ever-slipping ship date for Longhorn, which is shaping up to be a very promising candidate for the Vaporware awards in 2006, 2007 and maybe even 2008. [sic]
Dishonorable shout outs also go to Valve's Counter-Strike: Condition Zero; President George W. Bush's weapons of mass destruction; and the Oqo minicomputer, which came in at No. 4 last year and is now so vaporous that no one is looking forward to it anymore.
