Sun, IBM Ink Solaris Distribution Agreement for Servers
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

In the third quarter of fiscal 2007 ended July 30, typically HP's weakest quarter of the year, the company booked revenues of $25.4 billion, up 16 percent, with net earnings of just under $1.8 billion, up 29 percent.

Court Says Novell Owns Unix, Not SCO
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

After what seems like an eternity of waiting, a judge has finally come to some conclusions in the hairball of legal cases that The SCO Group launched against IBM, Red Hat, Novell, and a number of user companies deploying Linux. SCO just lost a key suit against Novell over who actually owns the Unix intellectual property that SCO believes others have infringed upon. READ MORE >
