Clearing out the old drafts…

October is turning out to be an excellent month for new operating systems. Ubuntu 7.10 is being released on Thursday. I’ve been using Ubuntu at work for a while now and I can’t wait to update. Price is free.

Apple has finally announced the release date for Leopard 10.5 is October 26th. I decided to do the pre-order thing and that means I’ll have my copy on the 26th. Well, hopefully. Purolator are not exactly good at delivering things which is odd given that is what they do.

Bonus points to Apple for charging Canadians the same price as they do ‘Mericans. Now if only they would do the same thing with their hardware… I also took advantage of my educational discount to get it for $115.

So Ubuntu is free and Leopard is $129. What does Microshaft charge? $499 And it sucks… If you decide to go with the 5 year old XP Professional, you’re still looking at $440

To be fair, my Media Center runs Vista and Media Center works just great. I’m sure my happiness has a lot to do with the fact that I never actually use Vista. Anyway I needed to bank an October post plus I’m all excited about the new OS’s coming out. I hate to miss a chance to slam Microshaft

So that is all. See y’all in November…
