My Latest Linux Experiment
,----[ Quote ]
| I next tried my old reliable distro. PClinuxOS 2009. After I ran the live CD
| I click on the network link, selected refresh wireless networks and
| immediately was able to connect to the Internet. PCLinuxOS 2009 works so well
| I have installed it along with Vista and will dual boot testing this OS on my
| laptop. All is working well thus far. For those who might consider using
| Linux, give PClinuxOS 2009 a try. It is free and works very well.

Vista Will Double Apple's Market Share
,----[ Quote ]
| Remember how you felt when you saw "The Phantom Menace" for the first time?
| I was overwhelmingly disappointed. That's exactly how Windows Vista RC1
| makes me feel, and that's not very likely to change between now and when
| the OS goes gold. Before now, there wasn't a viable "Google" or "Firefox"
| for the Windows platform. Between Apple's Boot Camp and Parallels, you're
| going to have to make a strong argument to keep people from finally
| making the switch. And you wanna know the worst part of this
| entire situation?
|
| Microsoft, in each and every instance, has been its own worst enemy.

Vista backlash grows; key advocate moves back to XP

Will Microsoft Survive the Next 10 Years?

| I am not really an expert in this but when I read all the negative
| headlines and articles I ask myself if Microsoft really will survive
| the next 10 years.

|
| I am pretty sure that the Open Source Community, the new Ubuntu,
| Google and of course Apple are those companies that are ready for
| our century and they will get more and more people that know what
| they really want.
