Not to be too cynical but...
1. IBM has a vested interest in making other UNIX products look more expensive. Linux (which IBM touts) is more likely to replace a UNIX machine than a Windows box.
2. IBM is not Microsoft's buddy in this arena.
I have worked with Domino for years. It is the only certification I hold. That being said...
Pros: Domino is a solid, secure workhorse.
Cons: Domino can become difficult to manage if not planned for the correct enviroment from the beginning. An evolving Notes Domain (and sub-domains) can become an administration nightmare.
If you know for sure where your setup is heading, Domino is a great choice. If you can't get a definitive answer from upper-management, look elsewhere for a solution.
Open-xchange is a great product. Reliable, fast and intuitive interface. It was easy to roll out, easy to maintain. Comes with Spam filters and all kinds of goodies. Best of all, it looks like an MS Exchange server to an Outlook client with shared public folders, calendars, contacts, notes, etc...
My (one) son is 5 and has used the computer (for games and such) since was 2.5. Now he is able to browse the internet (with supervision), play advanced games, utilize the keyboard & mouse, load software, operate Google Earth (his favorite), etc... He is even aware of (some) differences between the Windows and Linux worlds. He is comfortable and confident with computers. Start your kids early.
When someone makes a movies or SNL skit out of SCO's misfortunes, blunders and daft (not deft) marketing, all this chicanery will be well worth lawsuit(s) they will lose anyway.
Perhaps SCO should be in the entertainment business, they have no business in software.
As an avid user and fan of SuSE, I am glad to see Novell has a plan for it. Downloading the "opensource" version has been dificult and not very friendly. Only a small download was available with online package installations. I was starting to worry.
We have a small (60 people) shop and allow our users to chose their platforms and applications. About 6 people have OSX and maybe 2 have Linux (for desktop). The others have various Windows iterations. A couple have switched over to OpenOffice. When allowed to chose and given enough information, users sometimes gravitate to non-MS solutions.
You are correct, but it will take resources and management / C-level time and effort to pursue a lawsuit. Ultimately less focus and direction will be given to the developers. Parallel processing is very difficult for individuals and organizations.
These are the distractions which keep technology from moving forward.
Napolean made the same mistake as MS is about to make. Too many battles on too many fronts. (WWII, same thing with the Axis nations.) I am not happy about this because it detracts from the focus of innovation.
We support people in several countries and sometimes the most cost effective way to get through is VOIP. Many times it is also has an almost intolerable delay. If it is a conference call with one person at a time giving information it is OK, with an actual conversation it is nearly impossible.
Could someone develop a "prepackaged" cookies folder to make marketing data useless? For example, copy useless (or altered) info into Clickit, Webtracker or some other notorious cross domain cookie file. And then install this into your browser once a month. Anyone who is a developer or savvy with these things, I would like to know is this feasible or practical? Would it have an impact?
I still occasionally get unsolicited calls. In order to combat this invasion of my personal space, I answer in a different language or gibberish. Maybe I 'll even start spouting code at them next time.
Every form of communication and line of site has been infected with marketing. Mail, E-Mail, TV, DVD, Billboards, Buses, Bus stops, web pages, etc... I propose a market free zone.

There is a letter from the lawyer at http://www.ilaw.com.au/linuxfaq.html. It spells out the intent of the letter a bit better than the articles.
Evidently it was a poorly written letter in the 1st place. Some lawyer.

Although Mr. Hilf mentions robust command line capabilities on the horizon, Microsoft has announced they are dropping Monad from Vista for a time.

Japan has had this in production for years.

I am soooooo sad, now I can't have an unstable browser on one of several unstable OSes by MS. Maybe I will look for another browser. Perhaps Firefox.

The lawyers take care of this.

Now that they have dropped most of the features for Longhorn, it is only appropriate they drop the name too.

...marketers lose their cookies
or
users toss their cookies.
In Lynx, none of these site make into my top 10 list. ASCI art is where it's at.
Thanks, Very Cool. It is ashame turning off cookies is such a pain, but this is very helpful.
