Almost a year on from the release of Microsoft's Windows Vista, only 13 percent of companies say they expect to move all desktops to the operating system, according to a survey released this week. Furthermore, adoption of Linux continues to gather pace, with a particular emphasis on the desktop emerging.
It may never have the same impact as Microsoft's Office software suite, but Sun Microsystems's StarOffice productivity suite is gaining a small following as four OEMs agreed to preinstall the software on PCs.
PC makers are gearing up to introduce new desktops based on Intel Corp.'s 820 chip set.
New palm-size PCs have become a rare breed of late. But Monday Compaq Computer Corp. announced a pair of new Palm-size devices based on Microsoft Corp.'s Windows CE operating system.
Microsoft will officially debut the Windows CE upgrade that supports color displays, code-named Wyvern, on February 1.
Cheap PCs with a Linux operating system seem to have hit the users' sweet spots, with taking the plunge into the alternate OS not nearly as hard as users had thought.
