Microsoft Announces SP1 for .NET Framework, Visual J# .NET Beta 2
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Microsoft
has announced the first service pack for the .NET Framework,
which is kind of a preview of the XML-based Web services
technologies that Microsoft will weave into the "Whistler"
Windows .NET Server operating systems later this year. The
framework runs on Windows 2000, and the SP1 update addresses
security concerns as well as bugs. Microsoft has also
announced the second beta of its Visual J# .NET, a Java-like
language that is one of many supported in the .NET architecture.

IBM Wants To Eat Sun's Lunch With Linux Telco Servers
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Market researchers Cahners
In-Stat/MDR reckon that the market for
ruggedized servers using DC power and adhering
to other telecom and service provider standards
is about a $4.5 billion business, and it is one
that IBM's
nemesis in the server market--Sun Microsystems--gets
about a fifth of its revenues from. So it comes
as no surprise that IBM has announced a ruggedized
xSeries rack-mounted server that will eventually
use a hardened version of Linux to attack that key
Sun market.

Red Hat Turns Minimal Profit in 2002, Restructuring Eats It--And Then Some
by Dan Burger
Commercial Linux distributor Red Hat,
is feeling chipper coming out of its fiscal year
2002, a year marked by the company's transition from
primarily selling Linux software at a retail level
to becoming a provider of open source solutions to
companies, particularly large enterprises. Given that
the company's transition took place during a stormy
economic and geo-political year, Red Hat's ability to
remain essentially at a break-even point compared to
the previous year is an indication of its current
momentum.

by Alex Woodie
Kronos
entered the market for payroll and human resources
software last week by purchasing the source code
for a Windows-based payroll and human resource
application developed by Best Software.
Kronos, which already controls more than 50
percent of the market for time and attendance
software, decided to break into the midrange
payroll and HR market because it sees no clear
leader in that space and because its customers
have been asking for the software for years.

mainstream of IT organizations.
