Congratulations – quite an achievment.
Sometimes I wonder how a single person can produce so much output – as far as I know, you are also quite active in COLA in USENET and on Digg and other sites and also writing your PhD thesis…. while I manage to produce maybe one blogentry a week
Not bad – just take care that you don’t burn out yourself. Linux and FOSS, the idea behind it is worth to spend a lot of energy for, but a good “work”-life balance keeps you going on the long run (IMHO).
Another suggestion: Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to rename the site? I mean Novell is sort of a trojan horse in FOSS town, but only a knight for Sauron.
Another site name would also be helpful with regard to reputation in political circles – “boycott xyz” sites are usually not considered reliable or respected sources – even if their content is very good (which is the case in most entries here, IMHO).
If “Microsoft Watch” would not be taken already, I would recommend it. Something more neutral like “The Open Source Inquirer” would also make sense, in case Sauron should ever become an Elb
(not soo impossible, once Ballmer is replaced).
Good luck for the next 5k articles.

Moving between domains is impractical for many reasons. If only there was a more convenient option for migration that’s not lossy…
