| At the office, you've got a sluggish computer 
| running aging software, and the email system 
| routinely badgers you to delete messages 
| after you blow through the storage limits set 
| by your IT department. Searching your 
| company's internal Web site feels like being 
| teleported back to the pre-Google era of 
| irrelevant search results.

10 open source projects worth checking out

,----[ Quote ]
| How many open source projects are out there? 
| Thousands upon thousands. And out of all 
| those projects, how many are worth paying 
| attention to? Thousands? Hundreds? If you 
| remove the usual suspects (Linux, Apache, 
| MySQL, PHP, GIMP, OpenOffice, Firefox, etc.), 
| you can really start paring down the list. 
| Here are 10 open source projects you might 
| never have heard of â but really should check 
| out.

Microsoftâs Plan to Upsell Windows 7

,----[ Quote ]
| To many people, the Starter restriction will be, if youâll pardon the
| expression, a non-starter. Between browsers, email programs, iTunes and other
| software, it wonât take long for the average user to bump into the
| three-application limit. Whatâs more, this is the first time Microsoft will
| be imposing such a restriction on an operating system sold in the U.S. and
| other developing markets (thereâs a three-application limit on the starter
| edition of Windows Vista, Microsoftâs current installment of Windows, but
| that product is only sold in emerging markets).
