Intel forms internal open-source group Published: May 10, 2005, 5:00 PM PDT By Stephen Shankland Staff Writer, CNET News.com Intel has created a group to focus on Linux and other open-source software issues, the newest move to bring the open-source operating system closer to parity with competing products from Microsoft. Intel spokesman Michael Houlihan confirmed the creation of the Open Source Program Office and said on Tuesday that Jon Bork, formerly general manager of the home product group, was named its leader on Thursday. The group parallels a similar one that handles Microsoft relations and operations, Houlihan said. Bork will lead Intel's engagements with Linux sellers and other open-source technology suppliers. Intel has long been a supporter of Linux, which runs chiefly on x86 processors such as Intel's Pentium and Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron. Intel is working more actively to boost the operating system now, however. In January, Intel said Linux is mature enough that laptops with the OS now can be sold under the Centrino logo. In March, Intel hired Danese Cooper, formerly Sun Microsystems' open-source "diva." That same month, the chipmaker also globally expanded a program to offer computer makers kits to ease the production of Linux-based personal computers.

RE: "State Street was a big buyer in the 1Q...their stake at 208mm shares" Thanks GV. Impressive firm (#1 in several categories). It says individuals also use State Street - what is the typical profile of an individual investor that uses STT bank? Normally, u/w banks have minimum investment limits of $1m thru $10m. What's their limit? I don't think many hightech investors use them. JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Schwab, Eaton, etc. seem more popular in Silicon Valley - it's easier to leave an account with an underwriter than move it and since STT doesn't handle underwriting that probably explains it. What does it mean to have assets in custody as oppose to managing assets - are these custody trusts, right?
