Mainsoft, IBM to Convert .NET Code to Java on All eServers
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Turnabout is fair play, and it is refreshing to see that IBM is beginning to understand that it needs a strategy to try to bring the 100,000 partners who write code for Microsoft's Windows platform onto all of its eServer platforms--not just xSeries and BladeCenter servers that run Windows natively on Intel and AMD processors. For a decade, software vendors have been porting their OS/400, AIX, and MVS applications to Windows, or creating whole new application suites that compete against software developed for those platforms.

OpenSolaris Community Creates Kernel for Power Chips
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
As soon as Sun Microsystems took its Solaris implementation of the Unix operating system open source last summer, the press, analyst, and user communities all started speculating where OpenSolaris might be ported to. By letting go of Solaris, Sun clearly enabled such rampant porting, and probably did so to encourage it, in fact. With the Xeon and Opteron ports already done and being largely supported by Sun's engineers, the obvious next architecture was IBM's and Freescale's respective Power architectures. (Freescale is the PowerPC chip business that was spun out by Motorola last year.) READ MORE >

IBM Tops U.S. Patent List for 13th Straight Year
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued its annual ranking of the top patent holders among the global companies that apply for and receive patent protection in the country. The USPTO is a branch within the U.S. Department of Commerce. As has been the case for the past 13 years, IBM got the largest number of patents in 2005, filing for and receiving 2,941 patents. However, IBM's patent count fell by 9 percent from the 3,248 it received in 2004. READ MORE >

As I See It: Revenge of the Wise
by Victor Rozek
Just two years from now, 40 percent of the American workforce will be 45 years of age or older. By 2012, one-fifth of American workers will be over 55. As Bob Dylan said, you don't have to be a weather man to know which way the wind blows. The workforce is aging (or maturing as I prefer to characterize it, being a Boomer myself), and that may be the best news beleaguered IT professionals have heard in a long time--especially those who are 35 and older.
