Ah, the price of Windows XP is now down to $20? With Linux and Solaris free of charge, Microsoft still has some distance to go.

Linux
Über alles in der Windows Welt,
Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
als unix zusammenhält,
Von der GNU bis zu Herr Linus,
Von G.R.U.B bis IPTables
- Linux , Linux über alles,
Über alles in der Windows Welt.
