IBM Says AIX 6 Beta Program Off to a Good Start
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
As it promised would do back in May, IBM this week opened up a beta testing program for its future AIX 6 operating system for its Power and PowerPC servers and workstations. AIX 6, which was known as AIX 5.4 during its earlier development phase, was supposed to roughly coincide with the launch of the Power5 processors but it made its debut in May as a future product when Big Blue shipped its first Power6-based server, a variant of the System p 570 midrange server that has been retrofitted to accept the new chip.

Oracle Says 11g Database Is Better, Cheaper, and Faster
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Charles Phillips, president of database and application software supplier Oracle, made a prediction at the launch of the company's 11g relational database in New York City yesterday. "What normally happens in this process is that, initially, there will be many articles written about how no one needs another version of the database. The pundits are already writing that, and it is typical." But software companies add features to software and change it to address new demands, and Oracle is no different. READ MORE >

IBM Charges 20 Percent Premium for Software Running on Power6 Cores
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Last July, in an effort to cope with the complexity of software pricing in a world increasingly dominated by multicore processors spanning a number of different architectures, IBM's Software Group created a performance-based pricing scheme for 350 different pieces of software. Now that the Power6 machines have been shipping for a month, Big Blue is setting so-called Processor Value Unit (PVU) pricing for boxes based on the Power6 chip. And the good news is, IBM is actually giving customers a pretty good deal--especially compared to the deal as X64 customers are getting. READ MORE >

As I See It: The All-American Exhausting Vacation
by Victor Rozek
If you can overlook the mosquitos and the natural grandeur, spending a day in Yosemite is a lot like spending a day at Disney's It's a Small World attraction. In both locations you will find crowds, long lines, and examples of people who wear exotic clothing and don't speak English. They come from all points of the compass, speaking a Babel of languages from melodic to staccato, and although their history and customs are as varied as wild flowers, they have at least one thing in common: They get more vacation time than the locals.
