Linspire, the Linux company started by Michael Robertson, is ready to fully assume its place as a footnote in operating system history.
Xandros, which makes the Windows-like Linux distribution used in ASUS's popular Eee PC sub-laptop, has signed a deal with information-management software maker Viyya Technologies to jointly target portable devices such as laptops and mobile Internet devices.
Taiwanese PC manufacturer ASUS is planning to release a version of its educational UMPC, the Eee PC, running Windows XP this month.
Microsoft's top executives have promised not to sue open source developers who create non-commercial software based on Microsoft's protocols, but skeptics say it's a ploy to soften its image before the upcoming OOXML vote.
2007 was an eventful year for Microsoft, with the company playing what it considered to be its trump card (only to discover Vista wasn't trumps, XP was). But the lovable giant had its fingers in many other pies -- making for a year of management changes, entry into unclaimed markets and new alliances.
How do the three leading education-oriented ultraportable notebooks stack up? Take our visual tour to find out.
Run Windows applications on Xandros Desktop OS version 3.
A consortium of Linux vendors created to promote the commercial use of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution has released its first product, and plans more.
The good news for Linux as an operating system for the desktop--as opposed to the server--is that it is set to become number two after Windows in the next year or so.
Lindows 2.0 is like Baby Bear's porridge--it's just right. This new operating system isn't too hardcore for the average user, and it's nowhere near as expensive to buy and operate as Windows.
The wait is finally over for the ASUS Eee PC 1000, a notebook that promises to make a dent in the netbook market. It's the most well-equipped and largest in the Eee series and has cast aside the usability shackles of its diminutive predecessors.
The ASUS Eee PC 900 is an excellent update to the Eee PC 701. The keyboard is still difficult to use, but the addition of a larger, higher-resolution screen, a multi-touch touchpad and more storage gives it the edge over its mini-notebook rivals.
The EeePC isn't for everyone in fact within about two seconds from picking it up you'll know if it's for you or not. For those it does appeal to, it's a brilliant little thing that fills a much lamented gap.
A major upgrade to the Linux graphical user environment includes faster-running applications and a Web browser improved with help from Apple's Safari.
A new consortium aims to make Linux more usable for consumers - and draw the spotlight away from a business rival.
