The Bowen report, submitted to top management on Dec. 20, presented a plan for using Linux to undermine the software advantage enjoyed by IBM´s two key rivals, Microsoft and Sun Microsystems. Microsoft´s Windows NT and Sun´s Solaris are the leading operating systems used today on server computers, the data-serving machines that are the engines of corporate networks and the Internet.
To combat Sun and Microsoft, the report recommended, IBM should retool all its server operating systems, from the mainframe OS/390 to AIX, IBM´s version of Unix, to run Linux smoothly. The same should be true of all IBM´s database, Web applications and messaging software, the report said. And IBM, the Bowen team concluded, should push Linux as the operating system of choice for the Internet -- more robust and reliable than Windows NT and eventually overtaking Solaris, Sun´s flavor of Unix, as the industry standard for Unix.

Penstar Systems has posted an interview with Peter Wicher/3Dfx Interactive.
Today in the China Grand Hotel, a much-anticipated event at last came to pass: Microsoft launched Windows 2000 in China with festivities that seemed to symbolize the widespread celebration throughout China's information technology (IT) industry. The release of Windows 2000 in Chinese demonstrates Microsoft's recognition of China's importance as a market and the company's commitment to the Chinese people. China now joins the 60 plus countries in which Windows 2000 is already available.

The core of Windows DNA is Windows NT
Server 4.0 and Windows 2000, operating systems and application servers with built-in Internet services that enable developers to focus on adding business value to their applications. Other Windows DNA building blocks include the Visual Studio development system, Microsoft SQL Server(tm), the Site Server and SNA Server server applications, and the COM and COM+ component and programming models. The Windows DNA platform includes built-in Internet services that enable developers to focus on adding value to their applications rather than building the underlying infrastructure.

Millennial IT is off to a smashing start. In the past month, two keenly awaited products have been launched and clocked up more than a million sales apiece: Windows 2000 and PlayStation2. They bear comparison with each other, being similarly priced and commanding similar media attention. Yet the one with the biggest long-term impact on the way we do our jobs may not be the one you first thought of.
At first sight, the PlayStation2 is a games console. It doesn´t have a keyboard, hard drive, mouse or network. It does have mindblowing graphics and sound, a DVD player and enough processing power to run a Shuttle. But poke around the back of the box and you´ll find two USB ports and IEEE.1394. Just as important, poke around the back of Sony´s marketing plans and you´ll find broadband, broadband, broadband. It doesn´t take a hardware genius to sketch out a single small black box that clips in and provides high-bandwidth Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) alongside a few gigs of hard disk and a wireless mouse and keyboard. If Sony doesn´t have one of those boxes in prototype already you can roll me in rice and call me sushi.
