Microsoft Linux What? The idea that Microsoft has or is building its own version of Linux is very amusing to me. I have worked with associates over the years who were so overcome with the idea that Microsoft is the only way to go. Whether it be for the desktop or the enterprise, Microsoft was the "all in all" for them. I have been casually building out Linux desktops and servers for customers over the years. I have found that the problems I commonly repair for Windows users are non-existent for those using Linux. The truth that Linux has been a dominant network and server system for many years is compelling to say the least. All this being said, I probably wouldn't have even taken the time here if Microsoft hadn't finally realized that they need to jump on board. Cheers

Why Not Let Your Phone Do It Fo You? We are really getting so sophisticated these days.  Some might interpret it as being lazy. Our devices are becoming more and more involved with our daily activities.  How in the world, if you're my age, did we ever get along without them? Consider Apple's latest software upgrade, iOS 9. There are some nifty new features and upgrades to applications etc. I just had to share here. Follow the link, iOS 9 and check it out for yourself I also read about HomeKit and the many features available to control your home using iOS 9 on your iPhone or iPad. Technology is certainly interesting and ever evolving. Cheers
