You know it's going to be a good week when it kicks off with news that the Obama administration has officially embraced the open source content management system Drupal. Just a few days later, the Department of Defense issued an almost glowingly positive memo on open source software. "The government is acting intelligently. I feel strange," quipped Zarf on Slashdot.

It's time to ditch Microsoft and go for Linux

Linux has been known to be stable and secure for years. And, this last fiasco of updates released from Microsoft just backs up this point. Yes, Linux will have security breaches too, but they are fixed very quickly because we have a world of developers. Microsoft is just one company, keeping Windows under its sole control. This isn't good. Linux gives you the freedom to do what you want with your PC, while Windows does not. It's time to migrate away from Windows, and go get Linux, learn it, and use it without worry.
