Dinosaurs most likely evolved into birds. I think they've found a lot more feathered dinos since that article was written but it is really interesting.

dinosaurs with feathers is old news for me. Check out the book "a field guide to dinosaurs". It has illustrations with feathery dinosaurs and they look so cool and normal.

It describes the dinosaur's life style, and most of it is fictional, but the illustrations are so interesting

Oh so this is actually a more significant discovery than archeopteryx.
