Submission + - Wil Wheaton Reviews Linux Music Players

An anonymous reader writes: In his weekly "Geek in Review" Wil Wheaton of Star Trek fame takes a look at music on Linux:

While Linux is still not entirely ready for people like my parents, it's really matured over the years, and in many cases it "just works" [...] In fact, Linux has grown up so much and so well, today I can devote an entire column to some of the cooler media players available to Linux users.

Submission + - Can Apple Take Microsoft on the Desktop?

An anonymous reader writes: RDM asks Can Apple Take Microsoft on the Desktop?, a comparison of recent sales and profits and the future outlook for Macs and PCs. From the article: "Apple doesn't have to take a majority share of the desktop market to win, it only needs to take the most valuable segments of the market. Once that happens, Microsoft will be forced to choose whether it wants to battle Mac OS X for control of the slick consumer desktop, or repurpose Windows as a cheaper, mass market alternative to Linux in corporate sales. If it doesn't make a choice, the company will face difficult battles on two fronts."
