Remember… [[MacOSX]] is now Unix [[:-)]]

…the direct-cost comparison shows a Unix advantage in the range of 50 percent over five years, but the unquantifiable indirect effects are clearly much more significant. These costs, measured in terms of how well the faculty does its job, play out over the lifetime of the university’s graduates and the careers of its teachers.

You just gotta love it when the technology rather than the FUD wins out.

As usual, Dave Winer has good insight into some computer industry issues.

These days I hear a lot from Microsoft asking what will it take to get us to invest in them. The answer has become clear — put some of your skin in the game. Implement our protocols and formats in your software, instead of trying to convince us to implement yours in ours. Been there, done that, lost, again and again. No more of that. Make sure that when you screw up, and you will, that you lose, not us. Then we can talk.

Exactly! Become a good net citizen, and then we can talk. No more proprietary protocols. No more embrace and extend (that is, destroy).
