Camtasia Studio v2.0: When I need to demonstrate how to do something in Windows, I use Camtasia.

I am the first to agree that a business-like appearance is important with any sort of business. But to take that belief as far as the article below is a real stretch. In reality, it comes down to a lack of cooperation between other companies, poor business plans and lack of understanding on how to get hardware manufactures to start supporting the OS. [Continued]

I believe that much of Red Hat's success comes from the huge brand recognition they have achieved over the years. Or perhaps instead, they just have a really firm drip on the Linux market through other areas? [Continued]
