Sun Settles Microsoft Lawsuits, Inks Collaboration Agreement
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The computer business just got a whole lot more boring. Sun Microsystems, which has spent a decade making mean wisecracks about archrival Microsoft, has buried the hatchet. The two companies announced last Friday that they had settled all outstanding antitrust and patent litigation and that they had signed a 10-year technology collaboration agreement to share intellectual property for the respective client and server platforms.

Oracle to Bundle 10g Database on Dell Servers
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Almost exactly a year ago, Larry Ellison, the CEO and founder of database maker Oracle, and Michael Dell, the chairman and founder of server maker Dell, announced an alliance whereby they would attack the vast Unix and mainframe installed bases by pitching Oracle's 9i Real Application Clusters running on Dell's PowerEdge Xeon-based servers running either Linux or Windows. Flash forward a year, and the two companies have finally figured out that they should let customers order Oracle's 10g database preloaded on PowerEdge servers, just like Dell (and all other server makers) do with Windows operating systems and are starting to do with Linux distributions.

Microsoft Tweaks Windows Storage for Exchange, SANs
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
By various industry estimates, Microsoft's Windows Storage System and its predecessors account for approximately half of the shipments of network-attached storage (NAS) arrays in the world. This is a pretty stunning accomplishment, but Microsoft wants a bigger piece of the storage pie and it is fleshing out the storage server variant of its Windows 2003 Server program so it can handle more of the kind of functions that only high-end arrays used to offer.

Gates Says Pencil in Longhorn for 2006, But Don't Use Pen
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
If cranking out lines of code that work properly were only as predictable as the physics of making transistors smaller on a chip, we would have better software delivered at predictable intervals.
