Well, another year has come and gone and it was a heck of a year, many advances in the Linux desktop world, we say Vista crash and burn. Google is still a tech giant and many other things. The only disappointing thing to me is it was another year that the military was not able to take the gloves off and get done and out of the middle east. It’s time to stop beating around the bush people, do what needs to be done and get out.
