Neat Articles:
- Linux
- You Can Do It!
- How are things going for Vista, do we all love it, is it
really ready yet (with the updates and revisions)? In
fact, it seems that some people and some organizations are Giving up on Vista and they
are starting to consider going back to or "downgrade" (the new
software opposite of "upgrade") to XP. It seems that
even Microsoft may be subtly admitting problems with Vista in
that it has extended availability of Windows XP for an
additional five months. Does it perhaps reflect that XP
is NT 5 and Vista is NT 6 (remember the Microsoft evens-odds
OS patterns). Now, what about the new Windows 7 (Win 7)
