This Week’s Topics






Comments from the Editor

This week I get to take a couple of days to
relax. While you’re reading this, I’ll likely be gliding on a raft down a
lazy river or swoshing down a water slide in an indoor waterpark.

It is interesting that to many people and indoor waterpark is like
saying “an open source Microsoft project.” It seems like the two things
things shouldn’t really go together. In truth, they can. For an indoor
water park, you get all the fun of a waterpark even if there is snow or
rain outside. With open sourced Microsoft, you get things like Mono 2.0
and Moonlight. In the end, it is all good!

Until next week…

Brad!
