TR's Hot Topic: Windows vs. Linux vs. Mac vs. sanity
TECHREPUBLIC COMMUNITY NETNOTE NEWSLETTER for January 31, 2006
TR'S HOT TOPIC: WINDOWS VS. LINUX VS. MAC VS. SANITY
For the second week in a row, the TechRepublic membership is still
fighting the Windows vs. Linux vs. Mac OS debate, which is probably why
so many of us are still trying to think of good excuses for skipping
work. Meanwhile, some of our more savvy members have noticed the irony
inherent in Google promising to fight spyware at the same time search
engines comply with efforts to spy on U.S. citizens. It's at times like
these you need more new emoticons.
