Since Microsoft has a huge chunk of the operating system's market in the world, it is the first victim of hackers. But that doesn't mean that Linux hacking doesn't exist.

HP and Dell have asked the court to allow them to file amicus briefs in support of Microsoft's Emergency Motion to Stay Permanent Injunction Pending Appeal in the i4i patent litigation. I can't show you the documents yet, as they are not yet available electronically. I'm sure you could write them in your mind quite readily, though.

In the article the writer states that it's too difficult to get FF3.6 installed on Ubuntu and that it's reason enough to call GNU/Linux dead on its tracks to get to the mass market.

For years people have been wondering how exactly will Linux become the number one operating system in the world. Some said it would start in the server world, and in many ways it has. But even having a majority market share in the server room doesn't translate to market dominance.

There are some in this world who believe that Linux is the king of all operating systems. In some ways I agree with them because Linux certainly is a big player in the server world. It may lack in market share in the the desktop sector, but that doesn't mean it's a lesser operating system.

You might be interested in trying out Linux applications, but the idea of creating a dual boot system, using slow Live CDs, or setting up a VM doesn’t appeal to you. Today we take a look at andLinux which allows you to run Linux applications on your Windows computer.

The world’s most popular operating system is Windows, which is made by the Microsoft Corporation. Linux has no links with Windows at all. Microsoft doesn’t contribute anything to Linux and, in fact, is rather hostile toward it, because it threatens Microsoft’s market dominance. This means that installing Linux can give you an entirely Microsoft-free PC. How enticing does that sound?

I am growing infernally curious about what the end-of-the-year sales figures for Dell’s Ubuntu machines will be. Not just how many bought those machines or in what proportion to Windows users, but how their long-term experiences shape up against others (as well as whether or not they elected to buy support).

My good buddy Preston Gralla would have it that "Windows doesn't just dominate the desktop, but the server market as well." Eh... I don't think so.
