HP and Likewise to release Linux-based storage line

,----[ Quote ]
| These HP StorageWork servers will use Likewise-CIFS, 
| a high-performance, commercially supported, 
| Windows-compatible file server, and Likewise
| Identity Service. Likewise-CIFS started as a 
| commercially supported Samba but is now a CIFS 
| (Common Internet File System) server in its own right. 
| Likewise Identity Service is an Active Directory bridge 
| technology providing authentication of non-Windows systems 
| to Microsoft's Active Directory.

HP Then and Now

,----[ Quote ]
| A few years ago, HP bought Neoware which
| produced several thin clients running GNU/Linux.

| [...]
|
| HP is willing to satisfy customers who demand
| GNU/Linux but they charge a premium. They are
| partners in crime with M$ in spite of all the
| harm M$ has done them. HP is still the #1 OEM in
| the world but they will not be for long selling
| $1000 thin clients. The Chinese are selling thin
| clients for less than $100 in bulk.
