Windows Source Code Appears on the Web
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Microsoft, having succeeded in deflecting the MayDoom.C virus, which targeted its Web site with a denial-of-service attack two weeks ago, has now announced that a significant portion of the source code for Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 has been posted on the Internet. While Microsoft discloses its source code to key partners and customers, having even a portion of the source code posted on the Web presents difficulties for the company. READ MORE >

Microsoft Fights Unix, Linux with Free SFU
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
If you can't beat 'em, emulate 'em--and give it away for free. This is Microsoft's very smart strategy in both dealing with the opportunity presented by the vast Unix server base and taking seriously the threat presented by the growing Linux base. The jump from Unix to Linux is relatively painless compared with the jump from Unix to Windows. The new Services for Unix 3.5 is about closing that gap. READ MORE >

Linux 2.6: Let's Take a Look Under the Hood
by Justin Ward
It's been a few weeks since the new Linux 2.6 kernel came out. Linux 2.6 was created explicitly to be faster, to support more systems and peripherals, and to be better than the Linux 2.4 kernel in most features. But what makes the 2.6 kernel tick, and tick so much better than the old one? A new scheduler, new filesystem code, and better multiprocessor support are just the starting points. The kernel has been expanded in all directions with this new release, offering better support for mainframes, midrange machines, desktops, and embedded systems alike. READ MORE >

As I See It: Censoring the Self
by Victor Rozek
At a recent dinner party, I met a woman whose husband was a former CEO with a hospital management firm. Over cocktails, I asked her how he was adjusting to retirement. She didn't have to think long about her answer: "He's hurt and disappointed that the team of top management people he put together abandoned him after he left the company. One day everybody was friendly and solicitous; the next, it was almost as if he didn't exist." READ MORE >
