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.
Taking a page out of Oracle's book, Microsoft intends to enter the Linux space through a deal with Suse Linux distributor Novell, according to a Wall Street Journal Report. The news, which has stunned the market and, in stark contrast to Oracle's announcement of offering Red Hat support, sent Novell shares skyrocketing.
According to the report, Microsoft will offer
sales support of Suse Linux and will work together with Novell to
develop technologies to make it easier for users to run both Suse Linux
and Microsoft's Windows on their computers.
Another key point of the report is that Microsoft has agreed not to
pursue any patent rights over software incorporated into Suse Linux.
Microsoft's move to embrace open source has become more apparent in
recent days and today's news follows an announcement yesterday that
Microsoft intends to cooperate with open source scripting language PHP
specialist Zend Technologies, to enable PHP to work better with Windows.
The reported relationship between Microsoft and Novell stands in stark
contrast to that of Oracle and Red Hat, where Oracle, currently a Red
Hat partner, threatens to pull the rug out from under the Linux leader
by starting a price war on Red Hat support.
