By Lisa Carricaburu - Salt Lake Tribune Columnist - Outside the world of software developers, it can be hard to grasp why SCO Group's legal challenge of the Linux operating system is a big deal.

This has just reinforced the free market argument that the real way to beat Microsoft is through competition. Unfortunately, most of Microsoft’s most promising competitors have failed to do the four things necessary to beat Microsoft – sell easier to use products, at a cheaper price, using mass simple ...

http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/01/1338241

Make way for the contender to Google's crown http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/31/1315203
You're not going to believe this, but a new search engine has just appeared and, well, it may be better than Google. Obviously, that sounds slightly ridiculous but after having spent a day devising weird and wonderful searches and comparisons, not only has it stood up to the test but it's so good that you realise how much of an effect Google has had on your thinking when it comes to searching the Net.

NZheretic writes "If IBM wants to buy The SCO Group Inc. and end SCO's ongoing Unix licensing assault on Linux, CEO Darl McBride is apparently all ears.
