It's not often we here at LinuxInsider get to write about celebrities -- other than the Richard Stallman variety, of course -- and indeed, many of the geeks who grace our pages from time to time seem to shun the limelight rather than seek it out. So it was with great glee this week that we found cause to mention none other than Jerry Seinfeld. Indeed, as our sister publication reported on Thursday, the comedian famous for his stories about nothing will soon be a spokesman for much the same.

I've read and agree with the critics that didn't buy into the PR push re Seinfeld. The show was not entertaining. I've witnessed a room of people that are known to have a genuine sense of humor sit in complete silence through entire episodes of Seinfeld. It WAS a show about nothing. No talent. No entertainment. Nothing. I feel that this has been proven even more in that cast members of Seinfeld still have not had any noteworthy success. Their collective talents are, at best, incredibly mediocre. The show Seinfeld, at best, was... well, lame.

So the combination of this incredibly mediocre talent with an OS that is just OK kind of makes sense. And once more, Redmond is trying to play catch up with Cupertino.

Oh well...

Hey, how about that recent release of [enter fav distro here]?
