The Hatred Continues

Those who hate Microsoft use Linux.
Those who love UNIX use BSD.

I can tell that the headaches are about to start. I can feel a new brace of wind from the ever squabbling factions in the mind-numbingly tedious OS Wars. In today's installment, the open sourcers are crowing that some new winky blinky has been dropped from a future release of Longhorn, an MS OS version that's somewhere on the horizon to be released in the next year or two. Not only that, there's scoffing about XP's new Service Pack and bragging about Apples new iMac.

As the bored chicken said, cockadoodle-whatever. Is there anything really new in computing?

So, when do you think it will be necessary for a presidential candidate to take a stance on open-source in order to run a credible campaign? How radically would things have to change for that to be the case?

As soon as you get a Beowulf Cluster of politicians...
