Windows vs. Linux--Plus, a Microsoft Wii?, Apr 17, 2008

Is Windows broken? Gartner says yes, and explains why. Many readers have other ideas, though, and not everyone is ready to jump ship to Linux. Give us your take on the situation.

Some of the Linux developers' and business customers' jitters may have been settled on April 15th when, at the MySQL Conference in San Francisco, Sun announced the next version of MySQL: MySQL 5.1. This edition, which is now available as a release candidate, is still under the Linux-friendly GPLv2.

If you're waiting to see market-leading Linux vendor Red Hat Inc. release a desktop Linux operating system anytime soon to compete in the consumer market, then think again.

2.6.25 has been released today.
See changelog for full details.
