CODEWEAVERS TO OVERTAKE MICROSOFT BY 2018
,----[ Quote ]
| CodeWeavers, Inc. today announced that recent sales trends position them to
| overtake Microsoft's operating revenue in 2018, based on Microsoft's fourth
| quarter report dated July 23, 2009 showing a 17 percent decrease in revenue
| quarter over quarter.
|
| Yesterday while eating lunch at his desk, CodeWeavers President and CEO
| Jeremy White spied a story reporting that Microsoft's quarterly revenues had
| decreased 17 percent - leading to the first year-over-year decline in their
| 34-year history. "I nearly spit a mouthful of a Jimmy John's Turkey Tom
| sandwich onto my desk in excitement and awe," he said, "because our own
| revenues had grown by more than 20 percent during our fourth quarter."

WINE and the importance of application compatibility

| Users' appetites where whet by recent events in the industry. Apple CEO 'Guru
| Steve' Jobs had been off to see the very clever Xerox folk just down the road
| at Palo Alto, to learn more about this amazing new windows, mice and icon
| universe they'd built. Steve, knowing a slick thing when he sees it, decided
| that Apple really needed a piece of this pie; partly because Apple's
| flagship-cum-cashcow, the Apple ][ family was quickly ailing, partly because
| the Apple III had bombed severely in the market, but mostly because this
| graphical environment was just way cool.

Wine: Can't Live With It, Can't Live Without It
,----[ Quote ]
| Should the Linux faithful go on the wagon and give up Wine entirely?
| Canonical CEO Mark Shuttleworth seemed to imply as much when he said in a
| recent Q&A that "the free software ecosystem needs to thrive on its own
| rules." Yet he also said that both Wine and native Linux ports "play an
| important role." Linux bloggers have been hashing out the issue from every
| conceivable angle.
