 In a blog, posted by Microsoft's Michael Howard, it was announced that Crispin Cowan, the Linux security expert behind StackGard, the Immunix Linux distro and AppArmor, has joined the Windows security team. I still recall when Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, touted the claim, "I'm saying it is absolutely not good reasoning to think you will get better quality out of Linux." Apparently, a few head honchos at Microsoft disagree. Be first to comment this article |  Add as favourites (56) |  Quote this article on your site | Views: 637

 Many users have reported that once they have upgraded their system with glibc 2.7 in a 64-bit distro that ETQW would play for 5 – 10min then hard freeze the system with little warning and no visible errors. This appears to be how the distro handles the 64-bit versions and despite having compatibility for 32-bit including the supporting drivers and libs users still report this issue using a 64-bit distro with glibc 2.7.

I, like many people, started working with PCs before there was Windows (or Microsoft for that matter), and as the times changed, I adapted to the new OS and subsequently became a Windows user. When OS/3 Warp came out, I temporarily switched, it was a much better OS at the time, and it had crash protection (where the system would recover itself from hard system crashes. It was truly artful!) 
Due to the rampant pirating of Windows within the Russian education system, Russia decided it was time to move towards the open source operating system, Linux, in order to prevent further pirating. Armada Group of Companies (RTS, MICEX: ARMD) claims to have completed the first stage of the project to provide the Russian educational institutions with the Linux operating system. It should save the Russians millions. But what about TCO (the Total Cost of Ownership) for Linux? Aren't all the Microsoft reports true that Linux's TCO is much higher than that of Windows? If that's the case, it doesn't seem to be affecting countries all over the world and their switch to Linux for schools.
