Top Ten Worst Uses for Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| 1. To display a static green arrow over the open TSA security lanes at
| Detroit Metro.
|
| I kid you not, at the main security checkpoint to get into Detroit Metro
| there are monitors over each metal detector. The ONLY thing those monitors
| ever display is a big green arrow pointing down. Oh, occasionally they
| display a blue screen with a Windows error notice.

Ten More Stupid Uses for Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| My Top Ten Worst Uses for Windows post earlier this week caused somewhat of a
| firestorm of reaction. It is worth pointing out that for the most part I am
| not really criticizing Windows just the use of a bloated OS for simple or
| mission critical tasks.

Next Gen, Mission-Critical Apps To Be Deployed on Linux Says Report
,----[ Quote ]
| By now it should be obvious to even the most casual industry observers
| that Linux operating systems - and open source-based software in general -
| have reached critical marketplace mass. Recent Linux deals and
| announcements by Oracle and Microsoft have only reinforced the "open
| source is enterprise-grade" message that IBM, Unisys and other "Master
| Brand" hardware, software and services vendors have been preaching for
| years. In short, open source, especially Linux, is becoming "legitimized"
| by the major vendors for enterprise environments, and user executives
| are more than happy to believe them.
