For quite a while, I had considered nuking Windows from my laptop and starting fresh. A few weeks ago, I finally took the plunge. I started with a full backup (two, actually — a file-by-file backup, and a partition image). I toyed with the idea of dual-booting, but finally decided that I’d try to go completely non-Windows, and see how well I could get by.

After hearing one of my co-workers rave about how impressed he was with Fedora Core, I was going to give that a try. [...]

Microsoft announces upcoming IE7 release

2/17/2005 – 10:33 pm

Despite previous proclaimations that there would be no new version of Internet Explorer until their next generation operating system, codenamed “Longhorn” is released, Microsoft has recently reversed that position and announced that it will be working on Internet Explorer 7, which will be more focused on fixing security problems.

The King is dead. [...]
