3/8 SNR
- Reports on the March 7th SCO v. IBM hearing: GL reports on the day's festivities. And on IV, eyewitness reports from lttscoparty, Ruidh, and _Arthur.
- Also on GL, a transcript of Monday's hearing.
- ITJungle on SCO's Q1 numbers. A little late, but hey.
- Intel's not upgrading its own machines to Vista until SP1 comes out.
- Wikipedia's new policy on credentials: If you claim to be an expert with credentials when editing at WP, your claims should be verifiable.
- A piece about a guy in scotland taking on a spammer. You can probably guess which side I'm for in this. Speaking of which, I haven't heard any more from ol' whatsisname in Blackpool lately. Perhaps that's a good sign, but it's probably too early to tell just yet.
- What happens if Windows Genuine Advantage wants to install on your machine, and you say no? The installer rats you out to Redmond, of course.
- On the heels of Dell dithering about whether to ship machines with Linux preinstalled, it seems that HP is thinking it over as well.
- Since the release of Vista, there seems to have been a real upsurge in IT interest in moving to Linux instead of the new Windows release. It's too soon to say whether that'll translate into a significant number of seats migrated, but here are a few stories related to the trend:
- eCommerceTimes: "IT Pro Learns Lesson Through Linux Install"
- SiliconValley.com: "Time to start casting the Linux 'Switch' commercials"
- DesktopLinux.com: "Calif. school district aims 5,000 desktops at Linux".
- eCommerceTimes: "IT Pro Learns Lesson Through Linux Install"
- Vista's also raising new antitrust concerns. Which is about the least surprising thing I've heard all year so far.
- And the latest on Linux on Sony's PS3.
- A weird article about the growing size of corporate data, and the world's total data capacity. The words "zettabyte" and even "yottabyte" make cameos.
