Windows 7 is coming soon, and I have seen good feedback about it, so far .. ( beta release ). Its better than Vista, and they are correcting their mistakes. But, interesting thing is, Windows 7 looks almost similar to KDE 4, ( latest release ) which is a Linux desktop environment.
With netbooks getting popular, Linux is taking another step forward, because they make netbooks even cheaper, and flexible.
Universities, Schools and even government departments are moving towards Linux, and there is a lot happening in the open source community …. and something like this too .
Okay, that’s about something I’ve been reading about for the past few weeks… and you will see more posts about them here .. let me know if you would like to taste some open source software blogging
