August 5th, 2009 | No Comments

News Analysis: Apple is in the middle of a serious battle with both Google and Palm. Apple has much to lose by its icy determination to keep competitors out of the App Store and away from iTunes.

10 Reasons Why Microhoo Is Good for Enterprise Search

July 30th, 2009 | No Comments

After more than a year of maneuvering, Microsoft has finally secured some semblance of a partnership with Yahoo. It’s not the buyout that Microsoft originally bid for. But it’s something that might prove better for both companies and corporate users a search partnership under which Yahoo will host Microsoft’s Bing search engine on its sites in return for the lion’s share of advertising revenue.

12 Reasons Why Unix Won’t Disappear Any Time Soon (and 3 Reasons It Might)

July 22nd, 2009 | No Comments

Oracle’s $7.4 acquisition of Sun Microsystems may be raising as many questions as it answered, not the least of which is, what will the software giant do with Sun’s extensive server portfolio? And what Oracle does with Sun’s UltraSPARC line of servers could have an impact on Solaris’ future. Sun’s Unix OS may be expanding its reach into the x86 server space, through deals with Dell, Hewlett-Packard and IBM, but it has a major presence in Sun’s UltraSPARC server customer base. The Oracle-Sun deal raises the same questions many in the industry have had about the future of Unix, particularly given the continued rapid growth of x86 server sales and the increasingly Unix-like workloads that those less-expensive systems can carry. However, while there may be some questions about Unix’s long-term viability, there are plenty of reasons to expect that the operating system will be around for years to come. (Many thanks should go to IDC analyst Jean Bozman, Pund-IT Research analyst Charles King and Sageza Group analyst Clay Ryder for their contributions to the list.)
