Most U.S. businesses say there is very little difference between the cost of maintaining a Windows versus a Linux-based corporate computing environment, according to a new Yankee Group study released on Monday. The main cost difference, said Yankee Group analyst Laura DiDio, is determined by the amount of time it takes to develop applications or ensure the security of servers, the networked computers that store data, crunch numbers and serve up Web pages.

"What we found is that costs are not really dependent on the underlying functionality in the core operating system," DiDio said. In the independent study, 88 percent of respondents said that the quality, performance and reliability of Windows was equal to or better than Linux. Linux, which can be copied and modified freely, unlike proprietary software such as Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating system, has been locked in competition for the last several years against Microsoft's Windows Server software for a share of the corporate market. In most cases, both Linux and Windows are growing at the expense of Sun Microsystems Inc.'s Unix-based servers, which were instrumental in the growth of the Internet during the 1990s.

Laptops Are A Pain In The Neck... And

With more and more people ditching desktop computers for laptops, people are beginning to realize the ergonomic disaster of laptop computers. It's not just the damage done lugging them around (though, that does contribute to it), but there's almost no good ergonomic way to use a laptop computer, because the keyboard is too close to the screen, meaning you're doing damage to some part of your body, no matter how you set up. That means that people in their twenties are having skeletal problems that used to only show up with those in their fifties -- which is a pretty serious problem for many. Some laptop makers (and accessory makers) are finally looking at ways to address the problem, but in the mean time, many of us are stuck hunched over our laptops, waiting for our backs to give out.

Shocker: Study Shows No One Keeps Your
Data Secure
03/29/2005 02:05 PM
In what was either a well-timed release, or a hastily put together study, one research group has released a study saying that most companies don't do a very good job protecting your private info. Given the number of stories coming out over the past couple of months about companies leaking your data, this seems like a "well, duh" sort of study. Financial service firms, retailers and insurance firms were apparently "the worst" at keeping your data private -- which might make you wonder who's left who's actually good at protecting your data? According to the article, it turns out that it's airlines and travel companies who tend to be better at keeping your data private -- but apparently that all goes out the window when the government comes calling. Basically, if you hadn't realized it by now, you should know that your data is out there, and you pretty much have no control over it at all. Realizing that, it makes the entire idea of being able to watch back make a lot more sense.
