I am going to do

I am going to do a quick link fest now. Here is a pointer to my friend Peter Street's tutorial on using the Windows Command Line. I would love to see one on the Linux Command Line(a possible Geek Tip??), but I think the Linux one has more uses and available options then the Windows one, so it would be a lot longer. I would recommend you read that as a beginning, as any decent Linux command line tutorial will have references to the Windows command line.

The second is one to The Register's article that republishes the statement on progress in the Windows vs.. Lindows lawsuit by Microsoft. I am currently looking for the referenced article on The Register that said Microsoft was *gasp* right in it's suit over semantics. I think the whole thing is ridiculous, and that Lindows will win because of the fact that Microsoft cannot, or should not, be able to selectively choose which trademark infringements to go after. The only reason they are going after Lindows is because they know it can kick their asses across all of the markets that Windows is a hit in.

Lastly, also from The Register, the remaining states who are continuing with a suit against Microsoft, the states that did not sell out to the Redmond giant, have asked for the one thing that it seems Microsoft will never willingly, or unwillingly release, the Windows Source Code. The biggest mystery of the computing world. The states say they need to see this to ensure Microsoft is telling the truth abut how intertwined IE is in Windows, and other problems that are up in the air and doubted about the claims on both sides. I doubt Microsoft will ever release it, and would rather be held in contempt of court, but I will be sure to keep an eye on this story.
