Linux is now so important that technology vendors are fighting for competitive advantage over their peers.
LINUX IS ON THE WAY TO DESTRUCTION.
CSIRO researchers will today demonstrate the fastest and most efficient wireless link ever achieved.
The CSIRO ICT Centre today announced that it has achieved over 6 gigabits per second over a point to point wireless connection with the highest efficiency (2.4bits/s/Hz) ever achieved for such a system.
Multi-gigabit links operate at speeds that leave current wireless networks far behind. For example the entire works of Shakespeare could be transmitted over this 6 gigabit link in under seven thousandths of a second or a full DVD movie in just over three quarters of a second.
At the demonstration today, the team will transmit 16 simultaneous streams of DVD quality video over a 250 metre link with no loss of quality or delays. This impressive demonstration nevertheless only utilises one quarter of the capacity of the link.
Dr Jay Guo, Director of the Wireless Technologies Laboratory at CSIRO said that this breakthrough is just a first stage towards direct connections of up to 12 gigabits per second.

I sort of agree the Novell deal is great for Linux. Its not nearly enough for me to get off of RedHat but if I had no in place agreements and infrastructure I would think about going with them.
But I think the whole IP boogy man has been somewhat defanged by the SCO fiasco..
Gates runs UBUNTU on his home PC! ;^)
But IBM has more than anyone else. We're seeing right now with SCO what happens when someone threatens IBM's business.
