The World Turns to GNU/Linux
Filed under: 
S a programmer in training and background, I have always been told that I must keep up with the latest and the greatest — technology-wise that is — in oder to remain marketable. The way I perceive it, Windows technology that excludes the competition is a dying breed. I would not want to expand my knowledge in that area, which is why I continue to urge people to upgrade to Linux. At the same time, I rarely bother to keep up with advancements in the Windows world and yet I keep an eye on features and demonstrations that permit me to make a comparative analysis.

Today in the news:
- Microsoft CEO seeks to reassure analysts
- Ballmer: Windows releases must come more quickly
- Microsoft fails to ease Vista fears
- Beijing Co-Create Claims 50,000 Linux Desktops
And that, mind you, is just half a day in the news. It is representative of merely any day in the year 2006. The world changes more quickly than most people care to realise.
