Cheap, Illegal Software

Cheap, Illegal Software 06/10/2004 05:43 PM

OEM software scams on the rise: In a moment of serious self-delusion I almost fell for one of these outfits. Yes, I'll admit, I wanted Dreamweaver MX for $60.

[sigh] Too good be to true, and all that.

It is not difficult to recognise the pirates from reputable resellers: their prices are typically much lower than those offered by official resellers. They often use anonymous domain hosting services and their sites lack sufficient contact information.

More importantly, the software they offer is unlikely to be OEM. Adobe never offered Acrobat or Photoshop (with the exception of Photoshop Elements) as OEM software, but it is widely available from OEM vendors.

I asked Chris for his opinion, and he noted that the ordering page of the site I was looking wasn't even secured with SSL. Yikes.

Cheap Computing and Open Source Movement
Reduce Software Costs By 90% For Small
Business. 01/05/2005 03:13 AM
Small Businesses who want enterprise software such as CRM (Customer Relationship Management), Project Management, and eLearning have typically been ignored by the software industry. Change is coming, however, and it may be the software makers themselves who end up feeling left out. With abundant and cheap computing power and new feature-rich Open Source Business applications, small businesses can now bypass commercial software altogether. With Managed Application Service providers filling the technological gap, small businesses can digitize key parts of their operations without making large investments in consultants, hardware, or software licensing.

Microsoft’s cut-price XP flops in Asia

Microsoft’s cut-price XP flops in Asia 03/19/2005 03:25 AM
THEY SAY NO GOOD DEED goes unpunished. Microsoft's mission to bring cheap Windows to the Asian masses has got off to a very slow start. Windows XP Starter Edition, a cut down version of the full OS, debuted in Thailand last October, and Malaysia and Indonesia in February. But Microsoft’s grand plan to deliver low-cost computing to the developing world has had a lukewarm response from the all important local system builder community. The product is not sold at retail, so depends totally on buy-in from partner companies who are supposed to be bundling and promoting the software as part of their low end offer.

Sydney Might Have 100 Mbps Wireless
Broadband Coverage 04/29/2004 07:38 AM
Sydney, Australia, WISP Unwired plans 50 by 60 kilometer coverage at 100 Mbps for 95 percent of Sydney: The company is signing up resellers and will install 63 towers at a cost of Aus$33 million by July. This all sounds somewhat unrealistic except that the firm has apparently already raised a fair amount of money and has its plans quite advanced. (Perhaps it's a fluke of the Australian market, but I don't understand how a firm raised money without a plan just by using a shell listed company to avoid the IPO process.) The article muddles terminology enormously, which isn't unusual when new technologies appear. The journalist writes, Unwired's 802.16 standard-compliant Ultra Wideband (WiMax) network... Ultrawideband (UWB) is a short-range, high-speed technology. 802.16a is the standard underlying WiMax which has no final spec yet nor a certification program in place. The last graf is somewhat mystifying: It has been reported that Intel is involved in the WiMax Forum certification group, an international 802.16 fixed broadband wireless access standard lobby group. Intel has not been hiding its interest, and WiMax may lobby but it's mostly about certification and education, from what we can tell so far....
