Motherboard Preview From Comdex

P4s dominating Athlons, lots of DDR SDRAM boards. A quite lengthy article. The FIC pages have several interesting looking PCs, I dig the AquaPad, a WinCE Transmeta box.
"...most manufacturers are not willing to get on Intel's bad side by supporting a controversial (or as Intel would say, illegally produced) chipset that offers no real advantages over the aforementioned two"
This just shows that in tough times, the rich get richer and strip the balls out of the companies that support them. I miss the late 90's.
Sound waves should be free!
No, Linux doesn't require a lot of maintenance, as Microsoft will have you believe. It does take some skill to set up properly, more than the average windows user typically uses, but you can then forget about it, unless you want to make everything cooler by modifying it a lot, which you can do if you try. Much better than the windows config strategy of hiding everything from you.

Yes, but the average windows user doesn't bother to properly set up his machine. Thus Code Red, Nimda, et al. In fact the average Windows user probably couldn't even install the OS if he had to. I think it's actually easier to properly set up a Linux machine than a Windows one, but the key there is properly set up.
Admit nothing, deny everything and make counter-accusations.
