A protective feature in Windows is locking out the good guys, but letting in a lot of bad guys, according to security software makers.
Andrew Morton, the lead maintainer of the Linux production kernel, is worried that an increasing number of defects are appearing in the 2.6 version and is considering drastic action to resolve it.
The Open Source Development Labs, an organisation devoted to improving Linux, has launched a technical advisory board to try to foster better relations with programmers, who at times have been peeved with the industry-funded group.
Linus Torvalds released a new Linux kernel on Monday that supports features in IBM's Cell processor, includes Oracle software for clustered databases and improves how the open-source operating system runs on multiprocessor systems.
An updated version of the heart of Linux is expected soon, but it could be more than a year before the operating system's top seller includes it in its corporate product.
