GNU/Linux
- Linux server sales continue to grow
HP and IBM share the market lead in overall server sales
- Microsoft Exchange dumped for Linux-based clone
After conducting an evaluation of alternatives, the hospital decided not to upgrade to a newer version of Exchange. Instead, it went with a Linux-based Exchange clone that it felt could meet the needs of its 700 users without forcing them and IT to learn a whole new system.
- Ulteo Virtual Desktop: Letting Linux Do Windows
- Controlling desktop applications with six degrees of freedom
Six degrees of freedom (6DOF) devices allow for movement in three axes, tilt in two axes, and rotation in the third. Some of these devices look like small joysticks -- for example, the SpaceNavigator.
- Gaming With The Open-Source R500 Driver
From the release of Mesa 7.1 Release Candidate 1 to Multi-Pointer X being merged to master to the R500 3D milestone, it's been an exciting past 24 hours for the X.Org community.
- The Skinny on Linux for Thin Client Computing
"Linux makes sense in thin-client computing for a number of reasons. First, when you're cutting costs on the hardware and resources required for thin clients, you probably don't want to see savings eaten up by licensing costs for the [operating system]. Linux is free and now supports almost all of the user applications required in typical settings," said Jay Lyman, an analyst with The 451 Group.

1) The Vista Technology Flop. Technically, Vista was crap.

2) The Vista Business Failure: Microsoft has managed to sell junk before but this time it had set itself an impossible job.
[...]
3) The Yahoo Fiasco: If Microsoft had pulled off the hostile takeover of Yahoo...
[...]
4) The Fall of Microsoft Office. Remember when Microsoft was talking up how great the initial sales of Office 2007 were? A year later, in Microsoft's third quarter results, we see that Office's operating income has dropped from $3.4 billion, to $3.1 billion.
[...]
5) Who doesn't love you baby? The stock market that's who. Today, Microsoft's stock is wobbling just over $28. The 52-week high was $37.50. What do you think will happen to Microsoft's stock when Bill officially retires? It won't be pretty.
