The interesting part of the Microsoft financials is that most of the news out of the divisions was good news.

Cybersquatting is a seedy practice that's as old as dot-com, but the upcoming expansion of domain names could be breathing new life into the practice, while offering seamier elements on the Net an invitation for mischief. In the early days of the Internet, nimble squatters would register domain names of brands, then sell them back to the owners for tidy sums. Rules eventually were adopted to squash squatters, but with as many as 1,300 new top-level domains appearing on the Internet in the next three years, squatting may be in vogue once again.

"Love is blind," as the old saying goes, and that can be just as true when the object of love is a thing -- an operating system, say -- as a person. Case in point? Linux. Fans of the operating system love it, perhaps even to the point where they can no longer see its -- gasp! -- imperfections. Fortunately, the Linux community includes clear-eyed observers and thinkers such as Ken Starks, who recently penned a piece entitled, "What Would You Do to Improve Linux?"
