Linux digital camera compatibility is no
longer an issue 03/06/2004 02:03 AM
I just bought a new digital camera, and before I bought it I didn't bother to check whether it was a Linux-compatible model. I didn't care. I knew that I would have no trouble getting its output into my computer with a USB cardreader. USB cardreaders have effectively made almost all digital cameras Linux-compatible.

Microsoft No Longer Into Trustworthy
Computing By Any Name 05/05/2004 02:14 PM
Remember a couple years ago when "Trustworthy Computing" was going to be the major focus of Microsoft going forward? A few months later they officially announced their plans for Palladiu m - which was designed to be their trustworthy computing platform. The only problem was that the details scared quite a few people. Following all those complaints, Microsoft tried to play down the concept by renaming it to the impossible to remember Next-Ge neration Secure Computing Base guaranteeing that most average folks would skip over any news article about it, assuming it was way too techie for them to care. However, now, it turns out that they've decided to kill the entire NGSCB program altogether. They'll probably still use some of it in Longhorn, but it's no longer a major initiative.

MVPs keep bashing competition of
Microsoft (Linux, Symbian) and cajoling
users to get Microsoft products 01/28/2004 01:31 PM
Apparently Microsoft MVPs not only are helping users of Microsoft products, but are also officially bashing Microsoft´s competition: Robert Levy says that Windows Mobile from Microsoft is better than Linux, because operators will earn less money with Linux (and thus forgets one important factor: users don´t like to part with their money very much): Linux is proclaiming "Pick me! I´ll decrease your costs!" while Microsoft is getting right to the heart of the matter by boasting "Pick me! I´ll increase your revenue." One offers to cut the cost of each device by a few dollars. The other offers to increase the amount of money customers pay to their carrier each month by a few dollars. This doesn´t sound like a very difficult decision to me.

Is Microsoft Less Expensive Than Linux?

Is Microsoft Less Expensive Than Linux? 12/04/2003 06:03 PM
UNTIL RECENTLY, if you wanted to find someone who thought that a Windows-based program was cheaper than one based on Linux, you had to go all the way to Redmond. No more. Not since Microsoft paid Forrester Research's Giga Research to conduct a comparative study of the costs of developing a Web-based portal. The study compared the costs incurred by five large and midsize companies that used the Java 2 Enterprise Edition with costs incurred by seven large and midsize companies that used .Net applications. For large corporations in the study, the cost of using Microsoft products for development and deployment plus three years of maintenance was 28 percent less than the cost for J2EE/Linux.

Sometimes I suspect Bill Gates doesn't sleep so well at night. Not out of any guilt over his billions or the alleged mediocrity of his product. No, I wonder whether he might actually worry about the competition. Not Apple (though that iPod MP3 player is a killer toy, and I'm cheerfully typing these words on an Apple (AAPL ) PowerBook G4). No, I'll bet Linux and its creator, Linus Torvalds, cross Gates's mind when he's looking up at the ceiling late at night.

Investors clearly had already finished celebrating the Colossus of Redmond's bold announcement two days earlier that it would issue a $3-per-share one-time dividend, part of a total $75 billion stock-buyback and dividend plan over the coming four years.

How Linux Saved Microsoft

How Linux Saved Microsoft 04/19/2005 03:45 AM
I've been looking back this week and recalling almost a decade ago when a little company called Netscape prematurely slapped Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) upside the head and by so doing better positioned Microsoft for the future. Granted, I'm sure Microsoft would have loved to avoid the related litigation that continues to this day, but were it not for Netscape, Microsoft would have missed the Internet badly and would have had some much tougher years then they did. As I look at how Microsoft is changing to address the Linux threat, one that may actually turn out to be no more real then Netscape's was, I can't help but see how Microsoft has dramatically benefited from it -- and much more broadly so than they did from the rise of Netscape.

About that Microsoft 'Win' over Linux...

About that Microsoft 'Win' over Linux... 09/01/2004 09:02 PM
In its latest love letter to Microsoft, Forbes makes the odd claim that Linux is the monopolist's best friend. Rationale? From the story:

"Consider the deal that Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) snagged with the London borough of Newham, announced in early August. Looking to overhaul their computer systems, the Brits originally planned to dump Microsoft's Windows and switch to open-source programs, including Linux. But when they commissioned a study to evaluate costs, they found it would be cheaper to stick with Windows. So they signed on for a 10-year deal."

What the story fails to note, as the Register (among others) pointed out at the time the deal was announced, Microsoft paid for the study. Observed the Register:

"It takes a lot to raise a laugh at an IT press gig, but this news tickled the spot for the journalists at today's press conference in London."

It was also cheaper to stick with Windows, as Forbes did acknowledge, because Microsoft lowered its prices to get the deal. Computerworld's Frank Hayes explains more bluntly:

"Newham had a viable Linux alternative to Windows (and a lot of press attention for being a highly visible Linux poster child). Microsoft negotiated. Newham ended up with a truckload of goodies that it couldn't afford before."

A few thousand more "victories" like that for Microsoft, and Forbes might find itself wondering how the monopolist could have gotten into such trouble.

Changing from a Linux to a Windows operating system meant that the time taken for a transaction was reduced from three-four hours to 10-15 minutes. Sounds like a line from a commercial? Well, that’s what Hitendra Patil, vice-president, business development and operations, Central Depository Services Ltd (CDSL), says and you just might find it in very soon in commericals that Microsoft is planning to launch.

At the LinuxWorld trade show here this week, advocates said the next big challenge for the loose-knit "free software" movement is to create a reliable way to run desktop computers and perform mainstream office tasks.

Microsoft Monday launched a new advertising campaign designed to extend its "fact based" assault on the Linux operating system. The campaign consists of a two-page advertisement, which was featured in six computer industry trade publications this week, that cites a 2002 IDC study that found that Windows 2000 costs organizations less to operate for a variety of server tasks including networking, security, and file and print serving. "Reams have been written about Windows and Linux," the ad reads, "Let's skip to the bottom line."

New Year's prediction: Longhorn will never ship, but Microsoft Linux will. Even if I'm wrong, it's clear that software development is headed for a new place, and the end game that most observers saw even five years ago -- that MS would win it all -- doesn't seem as likely on the eve of 2004. That said, Microsoft isn't going to go away, in this author's opinion.
