Xandros Launches Presto, an Instant-On Mini Linux for Laptops
,----[ Quote ]
| Presto is a pre-boot operating system that aims to get you connected to the
| web "in seconds" after you push the "ON" button of your laptop. It works by
| using a variant of Linux that is optimized to boot quickly. Existing pre-boot
| systems do take 15 to 30 seconds to boot, but it is interesting to note that
| most competitors come pre-installed with a new computer in the form of a
| flash memory. Presto can be sold directly and installed/uninstalled by
| consumers for$20.

Microsoft investment shows all is not well at Novell
,----[ Quote ]
| The extension of the deal indicates one thing - all the money which has been
| pumped into Novell so far is not yielding the returns which either company
| hoped for and it is now time to further subsidise SUSE Linux.
|
| Yes, subsidise SUSE Linux. That is the main game from Microsoft's
| perspective - the subsidising of a GNU/Linux distribution which Microsoft is
| slowly infiltrating and trying to control. All this talk about
| interoperability is so much window (pun intended) dressing.
|
| [...]
|
| As Novell is finding out, and will continue to discover, such deals are
| counter-productive to the bottom line.
