"However, another fiasco like the one with Ubuntu 11.04 will make 200 million users a distant dream." What is this fiasco that he is talking about? not including wayland on 11.04? talk about confusing writing. I do think 11.04 is immature c

sorry but most MBAs I know are either unemployed or sub-employed, so I don't find them a high-salaried prone population as you do. You are living in a bubble where you can get a 100k job out of school, and being broke means not being able t

for me they are very close now that firefox 4 is more or less as fast, but inertia + the non-dropping down address bar in chrome tilts the scale towards firefox definitively http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=64bb...
