[mdlug] It Official - "Time Is Right for Linux PCs to Emerge"

[Raymond McLaughlin]

The same AP story at NYTimes.com and CNN.com:

<http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/technology/AP-Linux-PCs.html>

As glad as I am to see this I have to wonder what makes this "News".
Nothing is sighted as having happened today or this week to suddenly
make this statement "true". The assertion smacks more of editorial
opinion, one that I happen to share, than a real news story. The lack of
a real by-line also strikes me as curious.

Over all it's good that we seem to be getting a credibility boost, but
the slightly "prankish" nature of the story, on April fools day no less,
puts a somewhat wry light on the thing.
