The Xbox Linux Project, a volunteer effort aimed at running the Linux operating system on Microsoft's Xbox gaming console, said it has succeeded in booting the Linux kernel--a small but important step forward.
Microsoft hatches plans for a new Exchange Server e-mail system, with improved security and a facelift for Outlook, in the software's first major upgrade in nearly two years.
Bargain hunters, ZoneAlarm with Antivirus is the security deal for you.
ZoneAlarm Pro 4.5 is a great firewall for security rookies, but you'll still need a separate antivirus program.

Feeling entrenched in your choice of browser? Break free! We compare 11 different browsers so you can find the right one for you and your company.
While XP SP2 is a huge step forward for Microsoft, there are important caveats. For example, don't expect the new Windows Firewall to prevent keystroke-logging Trojans from stealing your credit card info.
Outlook has been copping some heat lately, largely for attracting virus writers, while Thunderbird has been getting all of the good press. We examine the two products, and other e-mail clients available today, so you can see if replacing Outlook really is an option.
