E-Trade tossed 50 old Unix servers that had cost $220k each and replaced them with $4k IBM's running Linux.. Gives weight to what Ellison is saying.

I think it's more accurate to say most are using Linux to varying degrees. ETrade is one of the few that made a wholesale commitment, re-architecting to Linux servers, I believe. People have been tolling the death knell of Solaris, AIX, HP/UX (even Open VMS is still around!) and so on for a long time now. I'd be interested in seeing the article; I'll snoop around to see what I can find as well. Cheers WUWT

Microsoft to Ease License Terms for Windows Code WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) said on Monday it has agreed to cut the cost and ease some restrictions it placed on competitors seeking to view the inner workings of the Windows program under last year's antitrust settlement with the government. Following complaints from some rivals, Microsoft said it would make it cheaper and easier for other software companies to access key pieces of computer code that their products need to function properly with the Windows operating system. The concession came after months of negotiations with attorneys for the Justice Department (news - web sites), who are charged with overseeing the landmark antitrust settlement.
