Introduction to Linux
This document answered a lot of questions that I've ever had about Linux. I knew that it was code for computers, and used for programming but that was about all I knew. I appreciate that the article tells about the development of Linux, as well as providing some examples of what Linux looks like while in use. I also appreciate that the author provides an answer to whether or not Linux has a place in the future. It has several advantages, and is versitile and adaptable. However, it is not completely user friendly and can be confusing for beginners.
What is Mac OS X?
Excellent question! Like the previous article, a brief history of the development of Mac OS X is provided. Apple's operating system has been adapted as the years go on to better suit their newest technologies. It has its own issues, and some of them can make work more difficult for some. For those who prefer not to work with Windows, Mac OS X is a good solution.
Mac OS X - Wikipedia
The Wikipedia article also gives a pretty good background on Mac OS X. There's a lot of the same information, so I won't go into detail on this one. Much more time was spent link hopping off of this article.
An Update on the Windows Roadmap
This article comments on updates to Windows software from Windows XP to Vista and now to Windows 7. They speak of improvements and better performance as time goes on with each of these programs. My thought on this is simply, wouldn't it be more prudent to make the product the best it can be before its release? After all, it seems that Microsoft rushes the release of new software, and then spends much of their time fielding complaints and fixing bugs and issues. A little forethought would go a long way.
