Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Fierce competition in the virtualization space has prompted Microsoft to drop plans to release a version of Virtual PC for Intel-based Macintosh computers.
There are now two products available for the Intel Mac platform which
allow users to run Microsoft Windows and a third is on the way.
Apple has already released its dual boot utility called Boot Camp as a
standalone free product and it will be incorporated into the next
version of the Macintosh operating system Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Boot
Camp, however, will only run one operating system in a single session
and requires rebooting to switch to the other operating system.
Another product called Parallels, developed by a startup company of the
same name, enables Intel-based Mac users to run other operating systems
including Windows and Linux in virtual Windows alongside Mac OS X.
Virtualization software market leader VMware, owned by storage company
EMC, has said it will release its own virtualization package for the
Mac platform this year.
Microsoft is already behind the virtualization curve in its own PC
space, chasing more advanced products from VMware and open source
vendor XenSource.
According to Microsoft, its decision to discontinue its Virtual PC
project will not affect its development of a universal version of
Office for the Mac. However, a delivery date is yet to be announced.
