Linux Takes on the Windows Look

Linux Takes on the Windows Look 01/23/2004 02:23 PM

Snazzy desktops are everywhere at this week's LinuxWorld. But as developers strive for a user-friendly interface, many roll out products that bear a striking resemblance to Microsoft software. Michelle Delio reports from New York.

Introducing "Cooperative Linux" - Linux
for Windows, No Less
04/12/2004 02:06 PM
A month ago, a trial version of a little-known Linux application called "CoLinux" was released that is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. It's the work of a 21 year-old Israeli computer science student and some Japanese open source programmers; in Israel, analysts are already saying it could help transform the software world.

Windows takes on multiple roles


Windows takes on multiple roles 07/22/2004 11:08 AM
As IT Week revealed recently, Microsoft is working to make Windows run Linux software, and not before time. Windows and Linux would be much more useful platforms if they could each run software originally written for the other.

Now let's talk about Longhorn. Longhorn is the codename for the next version of Windows, currently slated for delivery in 2008. Though Microsoft has mentioned the possibility of a 3D graphical user interface, and a new database-like file-system, it has actually made no promises about what will be included in Longhorn. Many people note that 2008 is so far away that without an excellent crystal ball, nobody could predict what the update will contain. But one thing I reckon for certain about Longhorn is that it will be able to run Linux software.

In Brief: Microsoft takes Windows XP
Starter Edition to Brazil
04/12/2005 10:53 AM
Microsoft on Wednesday plans to announce it will offer a simplified and lower-priced version of Windows XP in Brazil. Microsoft already said it will offer the product in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia, and India. The software is not sold in boxed versions, but installed on cheap PCs designed for first time PC users. Windows XP Starter Edition is part of Microsoft's efforts to take on the growing threat of Linux and piracy, which is common in developing markets. The limited, cheaper version offers localized support and customization options, preconfigured settings, and simplified task management. The starter OS lacks support for advanced features such as home networking, sharing printers across a network, or the ability to establish multiple user accounts on a single PC. It also limits the number of applications that can run at a time to three. Analysts at Gartner have dismissed it, saying it fails to meet the most basic needs of users. Brazil is one of the countries where open source has been getting traction, with the government promoting Linux products. Microsoft did not say when the Brazilian version of Windows XP Starter Edition will be available.
