Subject: The Threat of a Linux Generation

a blase overview from a large media outlet, but i'm just happy that this 
sentiment is gaining such an audience. and i like how they equate people who can 
actually understand linux to "a threat." he he he...

the following made me raff:

"Linux now accounts for 27 percent of server software worldwide, compared to 
Microsofts 42 percent share, says research firm IDC."
~are these numbers reversed?? who paid for this survey?

"Linux hackers from Germany and elsewhere are working on a Windows-like 
graphical interface for Linux PCs called KDE (for K Desktop Environment). They 
expect to release it this spring - free of charge."
~not like KDE has been out for 4+ years or anything...

"In the end, Microsoft persuaded the Parliament to continue using Windows NE for 
5,000 new PCs."
~yeah, that "NE" -- its *powerful* stuff!

fact checking...  what is fact checking?
