This is an excellent read for any of you operating system nerds out there. The author compares the architectures of both Windows NT and Unix.

Macs have been my primary computers for decades, but I have also had the occasional Windows PC. These are some screenshots from them.

I installed Fedora on my PC to try out as my daily driver. I loved the experience except for a few irritations that eventually got me back to using Windows.
