This is WFTL Bytes!, your occasiodaily FOSS and Linux news show for Tuesday, January 27, 2009, with your host, Marcel Gagné. This is episode 48. Today's Bytescast is done in front of a live studio audience (I recorded it while streaming live on Ustream.tv, so people were watching the recording). Our stories include the release of KDE 4.2 just as Linus Torvalds jumps ship and Aaron Seigo throws him a life preserver. The moment is now for open source while the EU ponders making Microsoft love Firefox. Google planning the demise of your PC and just what is open source and where is it going?
