The folks at OSnews are not exactly known for being Microsoft-friendly. Some of my colleagues have gone so far as to call them hostile. I wouldn't go that far; they just never, never give MS the benefit of the doubt. That's cool, though. Then I read...

As I've been trolling blogspace for posts on the new Services For Unix, I've noticed one question coming up more than any other: “How do I turn on the X Server in this thing?” There is no X Server in Services For Unix. “But......
