“I haven’t blogged that much lately. Sure, I scanned
the headlines every day. KDE4 is coming around nicely, Mono isn’t
getting anywhere (fortunately), Compiz is still the cutting edge
window manager, Vista is getting battered by the press all the
time, Linus is doing what he does best, that is making great
kernels, what is there to blog about?“And then all of a sudden, Microsoft is rushing out a “new” OS,
giving it a new name in the hope people won’t associate it with the
Vista disaster. Yawn. Rob Enderle, a known ally of the Microsoft
Corporation, thinks it is the best invention since sliced bread.
Yawn. Ron Barrett however, continues the tradition of Byte by
declaring Linux dead. We will all ditch our perfectly good working
Linux machines and start an exodus to the promised land of
Microsoft, led by the (false) prophet Steve Balmer.”
