VMware Forgoes IPO to Become EMC Subsidiary
by Alex Woodie

Server virtualization software vendor VMware had been profitable for less than a year and had aspirations of cashing in on the revitalized tech IPO market when storage vendor EMC made an offer it just couldn't refuse.

Microsoft Puts Host Integration Server 2004 into Beta
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

As I See It: This Year, I Really Mean It

by Victor Rozek

It's a brand new year; time for a replay of all those New Year's resolutions we failed to keep last year. Most of the people I know who make resolutions in January have forgotten them by March. But not my wife. When we do New Year's resolutions, she likes to write them down and put them in what she calls a time capsule. Come January 1, she digs the thing out (how does she even remember where she hid it?!) and checks to see how many of last year's items were actually accomplished. READ MORE >
