Although HP isn’t really a FOSS company, they do of course sell Linux servers and were recently considered to be on the verge of becoming a major FOSS player with their webOS. There’s no need [...] Ah! Thursday! Who can we mess with using the half baked humor of our top 10 list this week? You heard the news, we’re sure, that Ballmer & Company unveiled a preview of Windows 8 this week.
