-It's always exciting to see new realestate openup. I would advise your professional clients to take advantage of this and get thier domains out there. I haven't quite figured out how to monitize this, same with .me, but I am sure somebody will trip over the solution.

Or so the results of the latest poll state. Clearly there is room for the results to vary but it's looking like one of the key problems for Linux is that a high number of Windows users are scared to dual boot.
--ed note: people are only scared because it IS scary. Windows needs to have some files moved around to make it work, it does work, my laptop says so. If you screw it up though, your install is hosed, ouch.
Linux bootloaders will boot Windows if pushed in the right direction. Your windows install is NTFS, so you will need the right drivers to use a Linux live cd to push around your partitions. Once thats done, you can use grub as the bootloader to boot Windows, its fancy.
Or you can use the Windows boot loader to boot linux. Its stranger that way but it works. Any questions about this, drop me a line.

Spamhaus is a massive network of black-lists that works in conjunction with processes running on mail servers worldwide. Like a giant bug zapper in the middle of a dense jungle, it protects our life blood, clean email boxes, from the savagery of those insects in the dark unknown. The low down: A lawsuit was filed, Spamhaus failed to respond, the court ordered a shutdown.

It looked bleak, until today. ICANN stepped up to the plate to give us a little hope.
