A little competition

So the day after Microsoft puts out a blogging tool, Blogger releases information about a new beta version of Blogger, complete with WYSIWYG layouts, labels, and privacy settings.

    Way back when, Linspire offered their OS for free for a limited time. I signed up for that, mostly in order to satisfy my curiousity.
