OPERATING SYSTEMS: LINUX-OPEN SOURCE / MAC / WINDOWS:

Wow, a page that lists Windows, Mac and Open Source blogs all mixed together. We hope this doesn’t cause the Internet to blow up.

Linux.com
A central gathering place for the passionate debate inspired by Linux and open source, with comments galore and opinions flying every which way. Warning: Windows users might get their feelings hurt.

Groklaw
Written by the mysterious Pamela Jones (someday we’ll know the full story), this open source advocacy blog is deeply resourced. If you think Mankind can’t take another step until SCO is gone, this is your page.

Jeremy Zawodny
Zawodny, best known as Yahoo’s MySQL guru, is clearly a step above in terms of his tech commentary; he’s got a personal, distinct voice that is well suited for blogging. Oddly, he mixes in aviation-related posts with his technology commentary. But why not?

Daring Fireball
Clearly, John Gruber knows a lot about Macintosh. And you have to be deep into Apple to grok him. Wanna hear about the default new F-key assignment? This is some very inside stuff.

TUAW: The Unofficial Apple Weblog
Hardly a rumor, murmur, secret – or actual piece of news – goes by without being gnawed deep and long by TUAW.

Mac Rumors
More or less everything having to do with the Mac platform, from gaming to programming. Bonus: a user community in which people post their Mac setup. (You know you’re a Mac geek when you post your Mac setup for the world to see. Get a life, people!)

Apple Insider
Pssst! Did you hear about the new 24-inch iMac? If that gets your pulse racing, Apple Insider is your daily source.

Microsoft Security Response Center
All the bulletins and updates you’ll need (or at least most of ‘em) for Microsoft security vulnerabilities. You can also sign up for a notification so you don’t need to check in regularly.

Channel 9
Hosted by Microsoft, this is Redmond’s conduit to the vast network of Microsoft developers. A very busy place, with a sprawling array of conversations and idea trading.

Windows Vista Team Blog
Microsoft’s outlet for news and development about its new OS, written for a tech-savvy audience. On the same site is the Windows Experience Blog, which covers virtually any aspect of the popular platform’s use.
