Scripps Employees Called 'Hackers' For Exposing Massive Security Flaw
Windows 7 or KDE 4?
But you know what? Windows 7 isn't the only operating system with a flashy new desktop interface. The KDE 4 desktop environment for Linux also offers some pretty nifty features like enhanced support for widgets, a new menu, and animations.
So the folks at ZDNet Australia decided to see what people thought of KDE4. Only taking a cue from Microsoft's Mojave campaign, they didn't tell anyone that they were looking at a Linux desktop. Instead they said it was Windows 7. And people seemed to be impressed. Of course, they also only got to look at it for a few moments and didn't know that it wouldn't run MS Office, Outlook, or Adobe Photoshop. But hey, first impressions matter, right?

dont care that im late.. how about we get the the place where we stop believing that programs like ms office and photoshop are the only programs that can do what they are made to do. i personally like open office better because its more customizable. and gimp is friggin great. both free. screw windows
it sucks that ppl are so attached to office that i have to change all my documents to fit their windows. but the solution shouldnt be to run out and get wine so i can use office, the solution should be to turn enough ppl away from office, that word users have to change THEIR documents.
I'm workin on it
