Okay it is no secret that Vista has not been able to crack the desktop, either at the home or at the workplace. Not to ignored either is that Linux won some desktops last year (a little over 3%), but let’s not rejoice just yet, Windows still owns over 88% of all the desktops according to leading research. But that may change very quickly. Recently the numbers on Internet Explorer came out.

http://www.linuxjournal.com –
On January 5, Doc Searls asked What would you use Exchange for? A good question and based on the number of comments, it is generating a lot of discussion.

Guess What Applications To Install Based on Windows Applications
http://www.linuxloop.com –
Some time ago, I talked about the possibility that, if Wine was perfect, you could simply migrate Windows user's applications directly into Ubuntu automatically. Obviously, that is far from reality today. Perhaps that sort of thing would be possible in the future, but, right now, there are just too many issues.

Any visible open source at the CES show in Las Vegas last week was hard to find, so hard some people, like LXer's Scott Ruecker nearly gave up. All he could find were EEE PC's running Windows XP, not Linux and a Dell laptop running Ubuntu.

I still find the Free Software Song inspiring in some way although I know it will never ever win a Grammy Award or whatever. So, I thought I would share this to all of you especially those who are starting to lose faith in free software. Also, to all FOSS developers and advocates who are looking for some motivation, perhaps this will help.

Making eye candy for GRUB
http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com –
One of the cool things about custom distributions of GNU/Linux is that they usually have better "eye-candy". However, it's not really that hard to provide your own. If you are setting up a multiple boot system, the GRUB boot menu will be an important startup step; remarkably enough, it is possible to include some graphics even as early as the boot menu.
