- Will Microsoft kill Linux on ULPCs?Familiar or not, it's still XP.That will be a huge achillies heel for MS. XP runs well on modest desktops and notebooks. Not fast, but well. Take the EEE, it can run XP, however, it is slower, and as you stated, the...

- Scalix: A Microsoft 'Exchange killer' no more?
- Microsoft and Linux vendor Xandros announced on August 15 an extension of their interoperability partnership.Normally, I'd just write such an announcement off as more of the same -- mostly fluff with little real stuff.

- Xandros and Scalix: A marriage of convenience
- Today's trivia-by-association question: I say, "Linux." Quick, what's your first thought? ...  Xandros is gambling that their transition from a desktop Linux player to an end-to-end Linux platform player will drive Xandros mindshare, so as to position them with the Linux "big boys."

- Blindly applying proprietary metrics to open source
- I am constantly amused at how people try to apply the metrics of proprietary software to open source.This can even happen within open source companies, as when Roy Russo of JBOSS writes on his blog that open source inherently leads to monopoly.In fact every business model leads to monopoly, or something...

- Xandros deal is Microsoft water torture strategyWon't workIf MS is counting on people leaving distros which sign their devilish deals, they are sorely mistaken.Look what is happening to OpenSUSE.

- Long-time readers of this blog may remember how two years ago I sat down to lunch with Marc Fleury, then running JBoss.Fleury was celebrating because he'd signed a re-sale agreement with Microsoft. The deal was superior to one IBM offered, he told me, in that it did not interfere with his...
