If you've already mentioned it, oh well. It's playing this weekend in Santa Monica, Calif., next weekend in Pasadena, Calif. and continuing elsewhere in the US:
<http://www.revolution-os.com/>"REVOLUTION OS tells the inside story of the hackers who rebelled against Microsoft and created Linux and the Open Source movement. On June 1, 2001, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said "Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches." Microsoft fears Linux, and rightly so. Linux and the Open Source movement arguably represent the greatest threat to Microsoft's way of life. Shot in cinemascope on 35mm film in Silicon Valley, REVOLUTION OS tracks down the key movers and shakers behind Linux, and finds out how and why Linux became such a potent threat."
