Strengths of Open Source opposing Microsoft patent threats
,----[ Quote ]
| The objective is to show for all to see how lean and mean GNU/Linux
| is as compared to Windows, and demonstrate that they are so different
| that GNU/Linux cannot be infringing so many patents and behave so
| differently. It is impossible to describe such differences with words,
| so we need a great, visible show. I guess people would like to buy
| stuff there, and there would be less waste of time and money than
| in a courtroom.

Can Windows do /this/?
Dual boot with two Linux, using the same home directory
,----[ Quote ]
| I usually use in my Desktop at home Debian Etch (Stable), but as I also
| like Mandriva since I tested it, I wanted to install a dual boot system,
| with both Mandriva and Debian Etch, but I also wanted to have access to
| both file systems with the same permissions and even have the same
| /home partition for the two operating systems, so for this I needed
| to be sure to have the same user with the same UID and GUID in both
| systems.

Linux can do roaming profiles too... or have these stored on portable devices
like a USB pen -- something Microsoft won't have until the end of 2008.
