Well, the Karmic Koala may have ruffled a few feathers last week, but already the scales seem to be tipping back toward the positive side. TuxRadar recently put Vista, Windows 7, Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 through their paces -- focusing in particular on boot speeds -- and the newborn marsupial proved itself to be a sprightly little thing. FOSS aficionados had even more reason to cheer in recent days when word came out that Skype will soon be open sourced. The good news just keeps on coming!

Microsoft should embrace Android

It's on mobile where Microsoft should embrace linux. Specifically they should ship applications on the Android market. Hotmail needs an app, and I would love Word etc. They could even take an antogonistic position, put up MS replacements for the google apps, including replacing the Home screen.

Yahoo should do likewise.
