Sun: OpenSolaris 'pretty freaking amazing'

Already on my check list

I switched all my machines away from M$ 5 months ago to Ubuntu, only my server still running SBS2003. And after a quick check of Open Solaris I am very positive that I will switch, at least my server to it, in the near future.

The lack of expandable ZFS arrays is the only problem I am considering as important, but its not an impossible problem to overcome, everything else worked without a problem.

However I am a small shop, bigger installations have more things to think about.

Congrats to Sun for a great effort.

Microsoft appeals record European Commission fine

Happy to live in EU

Was so glad to discover that here we DO have principles. Microsoft's failure to realise it sooner, used to US way of thinking, cost them a pretty good amount.

Far from everything being rosy in EU, with dark examples abound, having the central Authorities demonstrate such a solid front against prominent capitalist companies gives me a feeling of hope for the future.

I like this episode very much, the only one I listened start to finish, even emailed it to friends.

I wish Patrick Byrne the best of luck in his endeavors. I find we have very similar attitude torwards life.
