London Stock Exchange gets the facts and dumps Windows for Linux
Microsoft’s marketing arm excitedly churned out a case study in 2005 when the London Stock Exchange (LSE) rolled out a C# stock exchange ticker system on Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2000. Four years later the LSE has scrapped the whole system in favour of a Linux-based solution instead.

Take that Netbook XP users!
If you own a netbook with XP installed, it’s time to install Linux.
Take that Netbook XP users!
“Microsoft late last week said it won’t patch Windows XP for a pair of bugs it quashed Sept. 8 in Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008.”
“We’re talking about code that is 12 to 15 years old in its origin, so backporting that level of code is essentially not feasible,” said security program manager Adrian Stone during Microsoft’s monthly post-patch Webcast, referring to Windows 2000 and XP.”
“The bugs in question are in Windows’ implementation of TCP/IP, the Web’s default suite of connection protocols. All three of the vulnerabilities highlighted in the MS09-048 update were patched in Vista and Server 2008. Only two of the trio affect Windows Server 2000 and Windows XP, Microsoft said in the accompanying advisory, which was refreshed on Thursday.”

Also launched today is the P55 chipset, which implements a new system architecture that represents a significant break with Intels past. In this short article, well take a brief look at each, in turn.”
