Seems everyone who tries Windows Vista comes to at least one of two conclusions (if not both):
Please don’t let Windows XP Expire – There’s even a petition for those in this camp. And it’s getting press.
Mac Time – Enough said. Mac OS X 10.5 isn’t perfect, but is anything? It’s about as [...]

I got my copy of Mac OS X 10.5 earlier this week. Bought it from J&R (via Amazon) since it was $99 + shipping, less than Amazon itself was selling it for. For some reason both of them are able to undercut Apple (even with a corporate discount) which seemed odd. Here’s [...]
Virtualization is a great way to improve reliability, take advantage of hardware and scale. For example Mozilla’s build team uses it to manage all the build instances that used to be on individual machines. These servers essentially compile code all day long. One problem with virtualization and cross platform building is that [...]
