    It's an empty non-story with NO new information. Don't reward them with ad hits.

    I love how sites put one paragraph per page just to annoy me AND put ads BEFORE the content even starts. On many websites you actually have to scan for a few seconds to find the actual content. There used to be "Printer Friendly" links on these kind of sites but I guess they're too smart for me.

    You mean I only have to download three programs from three different obscure sites and then I might just be able to install sp3. Awesome. Compared to that, updating Linux really is a PITA.

    And they say Linux is harder to use than Windows.
