Writing about moral, ethics, Linux, and Windows -- Comment()
Today in the print version of the MikroPC magazine appeared my new column titled "Friends of Linux and the Microsoft antipathy" (in Finnish, "Linuxin ystävät ja Microsoft-vastaisuus"). I gave viewpoints from IT history, and tried to write clearly about the moral and ethical positions which come into play in this controversy. I still think that this column is one of the best texts I have ever written. But who knows, perhaps nobody can understand what I tried to say.

Jobs: Apple could port to Intel, but won't: 'Apple says the latest version of the Mac OS X operating system could easily run on Intel chips, but CEO Steve Jobs said today that the company has little interest in changing processors. "It's perfectly technically feasible to port Panther to any processor," Jobs said at a meeting with financial analysts. "Right now we don't see a compelling need to switch processor families," Jobs said. "We have all the options in the world, but the PowerPC road map looks very strong."' [The Macintosh News Network]
