Wow. Even hardcore Windoze defenders should be shocked at the announcement that Amazon saved $17 million last quarter by switching to Linux. That’s the kind of cold hard cash/facts that need to be publicized more if Bill’s stranglehold on the world’s computers is to be challenged.

Michele comments on the strange phenomenon of webloggers who start every day by mentioning what they’re wearing. In the spirit of playing along, here’s me.
