Sun-Microsoft deal showing signs of stress
[eWeek]
From the sound of it, not much seems to be happening in the months after the much ballyhooed integration partnership between Sun and Microsoft. According to Sun, the sticking point appears to be with Microsoft, which is dragging its heels when it comes to embracing open standards.

A survey of 302 enterprises revealed that IBM is meeting ROI (return on investment) expectations for 75%of respondents. IBM met the TCO (total cost of ownership) expectations for 90% of the companies. IBM's TCO numbers were tops among the major vendors, but Microsoft squeaked out the ROI top spot (78%).

TIP:
Changing the default Administrator account name

However, there are certain situations in which changing this account name is not a best practice. Find out more in this tip.

So much for the Can Spam Act!
[Silicon.com]
If spamming were an Olympic event, the U.S. would get the gold and maybe even a few endorsement deals. An e-mail security firm found that nearly 90% of the spam sent during the past four months was made in the U.S. Most of it was not exactly wholesome either; a lot of the digital bilge might make Dr. Ruth blush. Oh, and get this, according to CipherTrust (which surveyed the spamscape), about 200 people are responsible for most of
the spam. So to paraphrase Winston Churchill, never in the history of correspondence was so much frustration felt by so many, thanks to the annoying habits of so few.
