Ya gotta give M$ credit! When they want something to work right, be fast, and impressive, they have enough sense to use Linux and Apache!

Office “Live” Demo Was Hosted on Linux/Apache

A guy tested the site and found it was being hosted by an web hosting firm in Sweden on Linux and Apache!

“Intrigued, I decided to check out the site that’s hosting the Office 2007 demo: I looked up “runaware.com” on WhoIs and found that it is operating from Sweden, and is not a Microsoft-owned site after all. Then I used NetCraft to see what the runaware.com site is running and guess what? It’s a Linux+Apache environment!”

Very cool!

There may yet be justice! The evil (more evil than Microsoft, and that is going some!) SCO is set to lose big time. Hopefully, they will shrivel up and die as they should have done year’s ago. (No, I have no mercy for them.)

Judge Tosses Out Most of SCO’s Anti-Linux Lawsuit Against IBM

“A U.S. magistrate struck down most of The SCO Group’s (SCOX) claims of copyright infringement in the battle over source code in the freely distributed Linux operating system. Dealing a setback to the Utah company’s $5 billion lawsuit against IBM Corp., (IBM) Magistrate Brooke Wells dismissed 182 of SCO’s 294 legal claims in an order signed Wednesday and obtained Friday by The Associated Press. IBM was accused of dumping confidential Unix code into Linux, but Wells ruled SCO had produced virtually no proof of the allegation.” (Emphasis mine.)
