It Ain't All About Ubuntu
So many things to talk about this week, I hardly know where to begin. Let's call this a potpourri column this week, with some short comments on a lot of different issues.
By far, the biggest news in the community was the release of Thunderbird 2.0. Except that is got buried under the avalanche of media by that whats-its-name distribution from the Isle of Man.
Seriously, distros are fine, but for my money (metaphorically speaking), having a decent e-mail client is much more important, no matter what distro I am using. I have already downloaded and started using the final 2.0 Thunderbird release, and thus far, no big concerns leap out at me. In fact, it feels a bit faster to me, which is very good. I will post a more complete review later on the LT blog early next week.
Microsoft got itself in the Linux news space a few times this week, first with the announcement of its $3 Office suite program in developing nations.
