Remember also that part of the audience might be bored by Windows
topics. I know we all at one stage migrated from Windows to Linux and I
know that some of us still use Windows or dual-boot their computer, but
for those who fully switched to Linux and have nothing to do with
Windows it can be quite hard to find interest in hearing about another
operating system... especially one they left for another. 

Clem.

We could also work in a hardware news section, new CPU, Video cards,
