Microsoft: Trust and Antitrust
Microsoft is in the news for two reasons today: the continuing saga of the antitrust cases, and Microsoft's public relations push for "trustworthy computing". A selection of links: Microsoft claims two months of code reviews and half-day seminars surpasses everything ever done by the open source community; Salon talks about the problems with a monoculture; SBC, an abusive telecom monopoly, complains about Microsoft's behavior, an abusive OS monopoly; and Microsoft responds, claiming that SBC is merely being self-serving.
I shiver to think of the "geeks" that work at Microsoft as really being true "geeks." The pseudo-geeks must be brain-washed, to put up with abuse like that.

No, no, no. The red nine on the black ten.

Macs rule. The average punk virus/worm writer goes after the mainstream users (Windows in the present day). Macs have something like 30 virii to worry about. :)
