    Slashdot isn't quite the place to come for Windows news, but occasionally makes with the scoop. BSD has its own section. Linux typically makes the front page most of the day. Any other questions?

    Why do people come to the Mac section to bitch that there is Mac news in it?

    By MAC, are you referring to the privilege separation of Mandatory Access Control, Ethernet's Medium Access Control (aka "hardware address"), or something else?

    The article was referring to Macintosh (or Mac) issues, and I'm wondering why you're capitalizing the word.

    As already noted, Linux, *BSD, etc are already well covered on Slashdot. As far as Windows, have YOU ever tried keeping up with their updates/patches? Dear God...
