Forrester Says Windows Is More Secure Than Linux
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
One of the central arguments of the ongoing war between Microsoft and its Windows platform and the open source community and its Linux platform is that each believes that the other has inferior security. There is a lot of pushing and shoving about the security issue, since this has become a pain point for most companies as they cope with security holes, worms, viruses, and other intrusions into their systems.

IBM Demos 1.5 GHz Four-Way Squadron
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
I took a good, hard look at the first Power5-based "Squadron" server that IBM has publicly demonstrated. The machine, which IBM showed off at its Power Everywhere event in New York last week, was a four-way box that was missing its front label panel. While IBM would not say much about the machine, you can learn a lot if you just look carefully. READ MORE >

IBM to Take Its Power Chips Out onto the Open Road
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
As expected, IBM last week held an announcement in New York concerning its Power family of processors. While this event, which IBM dubbed Power Everywhere, was a bit of the debutante ball for the upcoming Power5 chip and its "Squadron" line servers, what Big Blue really wanted to talk about was opening up the Power architecture in such a way as to mimic the open source development methodology that is increasingly popular for standard software components. By embracing this approach, IBM hopes to make its Power line of processors pervasive because it will allow a whole ecosystem of Power-related hardware and software to emerge in a way that has not been possible as IBM and Motorola have controlled the Power architecture.

Big Blue Debuts Opteron-Based Windows Workstation
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
IBM has announced that it will ship an Opteron-based workstation aimed at high-end technical end users. While IBM has been selling its IntelliStation M Pro uniprocessor and Z Pro dual-processor workstations, which are based on the Xeon DP processors from Intel, for years, the advent of the IntelliStation A Pro is the first 64-bit capable X86 workstation that IBM has ever sold, since it opted out of supporting the 64-bit Itanium processor from Intel in its workstation line.
