When it comes to command-line trickery and such I must confess I am all ears. Since the first time I got to use a command line interface while playing around with a Red Hat Linux powered box in high-school, the CLI has always amazed me. If you have ever used the Terminal in OS X, for example, I’m quite sure you... |

The adoption of the Linux open source operating system indicates a strong trend of slowing down to a scratching halt, but this is one scenario that the availability of Windows Vista failed to catalyze and to even impact, for that matter.
