MSDN Magazine was published by Microsoft?

I was a subscriber for about five years. Very deep dive, very Microsoft culture.

LJ was an independent magazine, I think. That is, not paid for by Linux Foundation or major distributors like IBM or Canonical. Ad and subscription support.

in 15 years when everything is online, mazagines will become a retro item and will be in again, like records and cassettes.......for a short while.
