		<description><![CDATA[Google is proving an old joke right, and in the right way.
The joke was that UNIX is the original computer virus, spreading like an epidemic to every conceivable computing platform.  Geeks used to laugh at this line … until Linux was first spotted running side-by-side on both a surplus x86 desktop and an IBM mainframe.  [...]]]></description>

Yes, Larry Ellison is in the latter category.
The slow motion mob is of course Linux.  Nearly a decade ago I was helping SuSE peddle the first competent Linux desktop [...]]]></description>

Yes, this has to do with the Linux market.
Specifically this has to do with the embedded Linux market, a realm so fragmented that ‘chaos&#8217; is too polite a description.  [...]]]></description>

Stock prices reflect mass consensus of where the economy &#8211; macro or micro &#8211; is heading.  Silicon Valley watchers woke to discover that the market capitalization of Sun and Linux vendor Red Hat were about equal.  Though matched market caps are not meaningful in and of themselves, the trend lines [...]]]></description>

Around the millennial epoch I helped SuSE whelp the SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED), a product that is till on the Novell price list.  Growing frustration with Microsoft viruses, continued vendor lock-in and the inherent lower cost of an Open Source desktop were hailed as the beginning of [...]]]></description>

In very short order (relatively speaking) the mobile market has seen:

Google/Android advance a Linux mobile operating system
Symbian convert to Open Source
Motorola release Eclipse-based mobile development tools
Verizon open its network to certifiable devices not sold by Verizon
Wi-Fi handsets are now commonly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, that didn&#8217;t take long.
Assuming that rumors based on odd leaks are at all accurate, Microsoft may have learned that their Vistas are limited, and that certain competitive pressures cannot be ignored.
Microsoft has heard the market concerning XP&#8217;s expiration.  It would be hard to ignore this considering that the market has been screaming at [...]]]></description>

Ignore the sales numbers from Novell and Red Hat.  They tell only part of the story, namely the demand by larger institutions who must ensure success [...]]]></description>
