LinuxWorld: A calm debut for Microsoft (Computerworld)
So how did it go for Microsoft at LinuxWorld? The company had a booth set up there -- a booth you might expect to be covered in rotten tomatoes or eggs. Microsoft says most expo attendees came by the booth to see what the company was up to; only a few dropped by to read Redmond the riot act. One Microsoft official said the show seems to be stressing business computing over the open-source philosophy.

THE MISSING LINK
"Office Rage" -- Feel like punching a colleague?
If you work in the U.K. and with computers that always seem to be on the fritz, look out. A new survey shows that half of Britain's office workers have been tempted to coldcock a coworker. More details of the survey show that too much work, computer "issues" and bothersome colleagues can turn a cubicle into a crime scene -- and that women are more likely to snap than men. The survey sponsor said cutting the gossip, being open with managers and leaving coworkers alone makes for cooler heads -- and fists.
