Novell and Microsoft are kissing again: http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/microsof… |
Sep 11 06:51 |
| kentma |
Novell is clearly Microsoft’s route into Linux. We’ve debated, several times, over the last 5-6 years that Microsoft would have to adopt linux in the end, but that their own culture would prevent them. Buying Novell in this way probably makes it all possible for them, whilst retaining their wonderful corporate culture. |

Sep 11 16:57 |

If you want that ‘instant on’ option, there is only an XP or Vista installer. Nothing else. So, you can’t install this Splashtop, GNU/Linux based environment without Microsoft Windows installed. |
Sep 11 16:57 |

Eruaran: it’ll come on all ASUS mobos, unless Microsoft continues pressuring ASUS. All laptops will have it as standard. Dell moves in the same direction. |

Some mobos will boot into it while other OSes like Windows start up in a ‘sandbox’ |
Sep 11 17:00 |

Our company has started offering systems with the new Asus mobo’s with Express Gate. Ausus has provided no way of installing it without Windows already installed. |

It doesn’t appear to be something that is on the motherboard itself, or it can only be enabled from installed software – but either way, it only has a Windows installer. |

“If you didn’t watch the film that served as an introduction to John McCain’s acceptance speech at the RNC, then you didn’t note the subliminal re-writing of history in that film.

“London Stock Exchange in denial over system outage [...] The LSE absolved its core TradElect platform from blame. The system, designed and built by Accenture, runs on HP ProLiant Servers and Microsoft .Net and SQL Server 2000 systems. Accenture declined to comment on Monday’s events. The LSE said, “we won’t discuss dealings with our individual suppliers”.” |

Funny quote I’ve come across twice now: “Linux running in a VM on top of a MS host platform … because everyone wants to put their Corvette on top of a skateboard.” See http://news.cnet.com/8301-… “Novell plans to offer support for Suse running on Windows. Is there meaning here or is Novell just becoming more of a Microsoft puppet?” |

It’s an important one nonetheless because it’s about Microsoft disregard for standards. There’s lot of this in the Novell deal (interop versus real standards) |
