After being berated by Microsoft for attempting to sell Linux on some of the company's desktop systems, Dell has decided to stop selling Windows altogether. CEO Michael Dell said, in a fictional conference call with reporters, "Microsoft is in no position to push us around. By selling Linux, we will save each customer nearly $200 per computer. If Microsoft would like to continue selling Windows through Dell, it will need to ask very nicely and accept that we have the right to sell other operating systems."

Buying Computers Without Windows


Buying Computers Without Windows 02/05/2005 09:16 PM

Part I: Corporate Desktop Linux - The Hard Truth: This is an excellent article from the retired CTO of World Bank. He wanted to figure out how much you would save on licensing by switching to Linux. The results ain't pretty if you want to stick with the big manufacturers.

When I went to IBM's website I couldn't find an option on their desktops to enable me to buy Linux [...]. After diligent searching I simply couldn't figure out where IBM had hidden it. So I called their toll free number for help.

This is IBM — you know, the company that has invested more in Linux than any other company? The company who says "the future is Open". That IBM. The sales rep explained that IBM does not sell desktop computers without Windows.

It was worse at Dell. He found computers without Windows, but they ended up more expensive than computers without. Via Slashdot

Microsoft announced Monday that it would create a new Windows version aimed at high-performance computing, an area that rival Linux has largely dominated lately. Dubbed Windows Server HPC (High Performance Computing), the new Windows version will be designed by a new High Performance Computing Team at Microsoft headed by Kyril Faenov, and may be accompanied by an HPC version of SQL Server. In a recent interview with Microsoft vice president Bob Muglia, I asked about areas in which the company was doing poorly against the competition, and only one important market came up: High performance computing. "One workload I think we've historically done poorest in is high-performance computing," Muglia told me. "But that's an area where we're making some ongoing investments too."

When a content owner creates an audio or video stream, they can add script commands (such as URL script commands and custom script commands) to be encoded in the stream.
