*nix Users Find No Solution in OS X by J. Paul Reed
“Many MacOS X users get it in their heads to tell Linux users
to switch. After all, MacOS X is just like Linux, but with a better GUI
and more application support they argue. It's win-win! Untrue. This freshmeat
article sums up nicely where many Linux users are coming from.”

Mozilla
rising: Netscape won't dislodge Internet Explorer from its hegemony
over browser space. But its open-source sibling is aiming at even bigger
game: Windows by Farhad Manjoo
“But the best part about Mozilla is that it is not just a browser.
Scores of developers are now talking about using Mozilla as a platform
-- that is, using Mozilla's underlying code to build non-browser applications,
like calendar programs and e-mail programs and even Linux desktops.
You don't need to download Mozilla to use these apps, as some are distributed
with their own stripped-down version of Mozilla's engine -- which, if
you think about it, is exactly the kind of thing Microsoft was trying
to prevent when it launched its war against Netscape."
