<div>Unfortunately, Linux is reviewing an engineering prototype,

<div>Sure, you have to hand it to them for their level of
professionalism, even if sometimes they seem to be grasping
at straws for topics. But they have a fair sized staff
backing them up, so the content and production is usually
pretty good. And Anthony has always been the expert on
their staff, not just for Linux stuff but also Windows.
It's nice to hear him say that he prefers Linux, though.<br>
