I think Microsoft might be making another push to get Windows on more netbooks. There was a poorly-written piece in the Wall Street Journal today warning consumers not to buy netbooks with Linux.

Once, just once, I would like to see a column from them warning consumers that their Windows netbooks will not work out-of-the-box with Office documents -- which is true (what netbook comes with an Office license?).
Firefox 3.0's self-signed certificate system is much better than the old one because it allows you to store security exceptions, much like in, say, SSH. That way, you will get a warning that the cert has changed in the future, indicating a potential eavesdropper. It eliminates a number of vulnerabilities (although, of course, not MITM attacks on the initial certificate exchange).
I don't understand all the hate for it.
