[Gllug] Interesting article on the MS monopoly

[Garry Heaton]

The worst speed comparison I've seen between open source apps running on XP
and Linux has to be Emacs. I have it on 2 identical machines running XP and
Fedora. On XP it boots in around 2 seconds. On Fedora you first get the
chrome, then an attempt to load some system-wide default, then the
specifications in my local .emacs file. It's an absolute dog. I had it
booting faster on Mandrake 9.2 but could never get it to boot as fast as on
XP and Emacs for XP doesn't even use an MSI installer.
