In my column last week — “Pros, Priests and Zealots: The Three Faces of Linux” — I divided the folks who have been writing to me about Linux into three groups. The most controversial statement I made in that column was a comment about the last group: I wrote that I was having trouble differentiating…

Eylül 9, 2025 • technewsworld.com

Microsoft’s Professional Developers Conference (PDC) is a relatively unique event in the industry.

As I write this, I’m getting ready to leave for Comdex, where I’ll moderate a panel on the importance of Microssoft’s .NET framework.

I spent several days at Comdex last week. If you were there — and you work as a systems builder, a parts vendor or an analyst — Comdex was a great show. If you work as an IT executive, you were probably disappointed because the show set IT expectations that it didn’t fulfill. As usual,…

Linux, China, HP, Apple and Other ‘Outside the Box’ Stories

Eylül 9, 2025 • technewsworld.com

Last week was looking relatively uneventful until I got a copy of SCO CEO Darl McBride’s “Open Letter” in which he argues that the Linux GPL is unconstitutional. Now, for some of you, you red-lined the letter and spent the next several hours posting your pronounced disagreement with this position to online bulletin boards. I…

The Redmond, Washington-based company is hoping that by lowering its prices and thereby releasing more legitimate software into markets like…

Stat Wars: Measuring OS Market Share

Eylül 9, 2025 • technewsworld.com

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” Whether we “love” our operating systems or not, counting how many of us use which platforms has become a favorite indoor sport for IT trend-watchers and marketing gurus alike. Why would it matter, unless you’re a vendor’s shareholder? First, of course, there’s the question of…
