This stuff's been around a while now, but still worth posting I think. First, USA Today on the lengths that Microsoft went to in order to avoid losing the city of Munich to Linux. (Surprise! Shock! Horror! Um, not). Second, Joel Spolsky on why he doesn't quite believe it all followed by a reader's explanation to him that these machines will actually be running Windows inside VMWare. (So it it such a victory for Linux after all? Yes, I reckon, just as methadone's better than heroine because it offers a way out of your addiction.) Last but not least, InfoWorld on the shift of small and medium-size businesses from Windows to Linux on the desktop.
