Why more end users are migrating to Linux
2008-04-23 12:23:00 A recent announcement from Dell and a BBC report, outline that sales of Linux based computer have experienced a year of constant growth. Linux is rebounding, at least for non Wal-Mart customers, among end-users for several reasons. Let’s take a look at some of these. Both end-users and organizations are largely unhappy with the latest version of Windows OS, Windows Vista, which has been perceived more as a theme-pack for Windows XP than as a new operating system. It has been said to be slower, to require more resources and to have still lots of bugs. Bill Gates has announced in fact that a new edition of Window, version 7, will be released in one year time. On top of this, many computer producers, from ASUS to Dell, decided to offer the option to buy PC and notebook with Ubuntu pre-installed - a user friendly Linux distribution. This allows them to lower the final price, offering cheaper but competitive products. The reason behind a general lower price is not only because Linu... More About: Users

Web 2.0 set for huge investment
2008-04-23 11:37:00 While the prestigious Web 2.0 Expo got underway in San Francisco yesterday, a new report claims that Web 2.0 is set for record investment as it revolutionises business over the next 5 years. Tech research group Forrester claim that around $5 billion will be spent on Web 2.0 by 2013 and it will represent a “fundamentally new way” for companies to do business. The report claims that behind this drive will not just be developers but multinational giants such as General Motors and McDonald’s which have already embraced tools like blogs, RSS feeds, podcasting and social networking tools. The report analysed seven Web 2.0 categories: blogs, mashups, podcasting, RSS, social networking, widgets and wikis. It found that social networking tools will attract the greatest levels of investment but even that will be dwarfed by the multi million dollar revenues the software industry commands. Report analyst Oliver Young told the BBC that this boom will quickly level out however: ... More About: Investment , Huge
