Microsoft eases datacentre software virtualisation rules
By: Stephen Withers
Microsoft has relaxed its licensing restrictions on datacentre software to allow for the growing use of virtualisation. Significantly, Microsoft has chosen to drop its previous 90-day reassignment rule, allowing server software to be moved around a server farm as often as necessary. The change is especially significant for customers running virtualised environments.

SCO case: one more step in a tortuous saga
By: Sam Varghese
Another step was taken this week in the tortuous case which the SCO Group initiated against IBM in March 2003 - but by no means is an end anywhere in sight to the company's misery. Unlike Neil Armstrong's historic statement, it is not a giant step for anyone.

OpenSUSE 11: nice kid, bad custodians
By: Sam Varghese
Sometime back, I had a couple of encounters with OpenSUSE, the so-called community distribution which was started by Novell in 2005. Neither of them was exactly salutary. For example, in October last year, version 10.3 was released and my efforts to see what it was all about were frustrated to a large extent by the downloads themselves.

The Linux kernel: now and then
By: Sam Varghese
When Linus Torvalds was writing his kernel way back in the 1990s, he was working in a small bedroom in an average house in Finland and using hardware that wasn't exactly top of the range.

linux.conf.au: What is Novell doing here?
By: Sam Varghese
A GNU/Linux system does not normally load modules that are not released under an approved licence. So why should Australia’s national Linux conference take on board a sponsor who engages in practices that are at odds with the community?

openSUSE 10.3: why did Novell ever bother?
By: Sam Varghese
Linux users don't accept criticism of their chosen distribution easily - that's probably why a number of reactions to my last piece about openSUSE tended to be somewhat short of making a point.

Novell uses Microsoft FUD to market itself
By: Sam Varghese
For some time, we have not heard anything about the patent sellout which Novell inked with Microsoft 11 months ago. Microsoft has since used the deal as the basis for spreading FUD about Linux, with claims that the free operating system could be in violation of as many as 235 patents which Microsoft claims to own.

Some lessons from the SCO debacle
By: Sam Varghese
If any bookmaker is offering good odds on the SCO Group surviving into 2009, it may well be worth a punt. After the company filed for bankruptcy on Friday, there aren't many who will bank on the company being around that long.

Linux Foundation's first commandment: respect Microsoft
By: Sam Varghese
On April 1 this year, I wrote a spoof headlined "Ballmer joins Linux Foundation board." Considering the statements that were reported last week as emanating from the executive director of the same foundation, Jim Zemlin, I wonder if my tale will still be considered a spoof after a few years.
