How come Red Hat and Canonical aren't included? If anyone has demonstrated how to run a successful pure FOSS business, it's Red Hat. Canonical has done more recently to push desktop Linux than any other single company. Aren't you guys at all interested in what they'll come up with in 2009? I know I am. Almost forgot.

I didn't finish the article. If the purpose is to get more advertisement revenues, it's a shame. And worst: only 1 company per page, so you have to suffer slow refresh between pages (or paragraphs).

Cisco was a definite surprise, worth exploring, as it seems yet another new direction for them. VMware was a given, though they've been hit pretty bad with the stock tumbling down. They'll preserve R&D budget. Aside from IBM,Cisco, HP and perhaps Vmware, I don't know how many will survive this economy as standalone companies. Sun is going nowhere and struggling for a business model. So you did right by excluding them. 2008's Vyatta is also all talk and less action. Terracota was good.
