Microsoft has announced a Beta version of its blogging client for the PC.

In a new survey of I.T. organizations, respondents claim that recent developments in
Linux have eased management complexity and lowered the price associated with running the operating system and its related software.
The results contradict some Microsoft claims that Linux’s total cost of ownership is higher than Windows.

The report was sponsored by Open Source Development Labs and member company Levanta, and undertaken by Enterprise Management Associates.

In the survey, the majority of respondents noted that they spent less effort in managing and supporting Linux than they spent on Windows. Over half said that they could diagnose and repair problems in Linux environments in less than 30 minutes.

While we’ll have to wait till someone actually tries it to get absolute confirmation, news coming from Intel in Australia, reported here by Dan Warne in the Australian Personal Computer magazine, is that the new Intel-based Macs may be able to load and boot Windows XP after all. Several of the early stories after the announcement of the MacBook Pro and the Intel-based iMac assumed that Windows XP would not boot on Intel Macs, since XP doesn’t support EFI (replacing BIOS in the new Macs), and Apple’s statement that they wouldn’t prevent the use of XP on Apple hardware didn’t really give people much assurance either way. This statement from Intel implies that there is really no issue.
