Sun Microsystems chose to employ the human touch when it introduced more than five million lines of Solaris source code onto the Internet.
A day after Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy said open-source software is his company's friend, a prominent advocate of the collaborative programming philosophy has called upon the server maker to open the code of Java.
In a move that reflects the growing power of the open-source programming movement, Sun Microsystems plans Monday to share an experimental user interface for desktop computers called Project Looking Glass.
Apache source code is of the same quality as proprietary counterparts, according to a study.
A judge on Wednesday ordered both the SCO Group and IBM to reveal more information in their legal tangle over Linux and Unix, including the code SCO believes infringes on its intellectual property.
Several organisations argue that SCO's shipment of a Linux product undermines its current attack on the operating system's intellectual-property underpinnings, but SCO says the argument is baseless.
The source code for a newer version of the Apache Web server software is of the same quality as proprietary competitors at a similar stage of development, a new study finds.
Intel on Wednesday took the wraps off a pair of upcoming chip technologies.
Hewlett-Packard, Dell, IBM and others will announce on Monday in the US the first servers to use Intel Xeon processors augmented with 64-bit extensions, a technology with major long-term implications.
Microsoft is refining its "Get the Facts" Linux attack, taking specific aim at Red Hat, Novell and IBM rather than the broader movement around the open-source operating system.
Intel plans to describe a new high-end Itanium chip code-named Tanglewood at its Developer Forum conference this month, sources close to the company said. The chip will include as many as 16 processors on a single slice of silicon.
Since Mac and Windows OSes now run on Intel-based hardware, shouldn't it be easy to run both on the same computer?
Microsoft has decided to support one of two competing formats for popular DVD recording technology.
