e intanto esce StarOffice 6 (beta)
Come promesso da Sun, ecco Staroffice 6 alla fine dell'estate.http://www.solarisguide.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2001-10-01-002-05-NW-GC-SWqueste le novità più rilevanti:- desktop non più integrato- Extensible Markup Language (XML) diventa il formato di default, permettedo a chiunque e dovunque di usare un edito XML-enabled per aprire e modificare LIBERAMENTE i file di StarOffice. - Aumentato il supporto per gli utenti di M$ Office, con filtri di importazione-esportazione più efficaci. -Supporto per Office XP (ZioBill.. dove ti pare di andare Oggi o Domani?). - Dialog box ridisegnati. - Aggiunto il supporto per linguaggi Asiatici : coreano, giapponese e cinese.Non so molto della versione per Mac in arrivo.Qualcuno ci aggiorna?

Although the top line figures appear to present steady growth in adoption of Microsoft-IIS, this masks some significant events. The impact of Code Red has resulted in around 150,000 Microsoft-IIS sites on 80,000 ip addresses disappearing from the internet, one of the most visible proponents of Microsoft technology for mass hosting has closed down, and Gartner Group has issued a strongly worded [1]advisory, recommending that people presently running Microsoft-IIS should replace it as quickly as possible. On the plus side, receipt of a site list from [2]homestead.com which has over a million small sites based on NT, has more than offset the losses from Webjump, and from the empirical evidence to date it appears that people are not yet inclinded to act on Gartner'ss advice. Webjump closes Webjump, one of the pioneers of a mixed architecture for mass hosting using Microsoft-IIS for static content, and Apache & perl for dyanmic content, [3]failed in mid-August, and users sites disappeared shortly afterwards. At the time it failed Webjump hosted around 280,000 sites. Significant growth in Germany The most significant source of growth in sites found by the survey this month was in Germany, where we received a complete zone file for .de for the first time in over a year. One of the surprising features is the degree to which the German mass hosting market is concentrated into the hands of two companies [4]Schlund and [5]Xlink, part of [6]KPNQuest. Both companies use Apache for the great majority of their sites. Code Red At least 150,000 active sites spread over 80,000 ip addresses worldwide running Microsoft-IIS have been taken down sites since the Code Red II worm was released. Superficially, it might be infered that site managers had already pre-empted the advice published by Gartner to the effect that running Microsoft-IIS on the internet is more trouble than it's worth, and opens up a window of opportunity for attackers to cause disruption, data loss, and worse. However, the implications for Microsoft are better than one might initially expect. Of the 80,000 ip addresses no longer running Microsoft-IIS, only around 2,000 are now running a competing web server. Notwithstanding the fact that when a web server is replaced, the replacement will not necessarily be on the same ip address, it does seem that in most cases sites have been taken down, or port filtered as part of a general tightening of security in the wake of Code Red, rather than the Windows disks being formatted and replaced with Linux/Apache. Some cable & DSL ISPs have responded to attacks from Nimda and Code Red controlled machines by blocking those machines causing the [7]problem. However some, including ATT responded by blocking port 80 on their entire userbase, eliminating cable-based Apache sites as well as infected Microsoft-IIS machines. The lack of switching in the aftermath of Code Red may say as much about psychology as technology. Historically the great majority of web sites have been very complacent about security, and place a low priority on it except in the immediate aftermath of an incident. Switching from a Microsoft to Unix platform will usually involve some significant effort for a site with any significant investment in dynamic content. Our table of vulnerabilities in [8]sites tested by us for the first time in each month, shows that numbers of vulnerable Microsoft-IIS sites are actually starting to rise again, after the initial shock and disruption of Code Red prompted many sites to patch for the first time. % of Microsoft-IIS SSL Sites Vulnerable http://www.netcraft.com/survey/vuln-sep.gif May-01 Jun-01 Jul-01 Aug-01 Sep-01 Administration pages accessible 23.08% 35.71% 11.76% 10.26% 17.14% Cross-site scripting 73.08% 57.14% 36.47% 19.23% 22.86% URL decode bugs 34.62% 42.86% 32.94% 16.67% 17.14% Sample pages and scripts 15.38% 28.57% 14.12% 16.67% 17.14% Server paths revealed 36.54% 50.00% 22.94% 6.41% 8.57% Viewing script source code 25.00% 21.43% 11.18% 3.85% 11.47% WebDAV configuration 30.77% 50.00% 47.65% 43.59% 37.14% IIS .printer overflow 23.08% 21.43% 10.00% 2.56% 2.86% Code Red Vulnerable 0.00% 14.29% 34.71% 2.00% 0.00% root.exe installed 5.77% 7.14% 10.00% 12.82% 8.57% One significant site to switch away from Microsoft recently is [9]infoseek, though it is not known whether this is related to security concerns.

RED HAT is better
Linux, va bene.Ma per favore non la Mandrake di quei copioni, cagoni di Francesi. Che non si sa se copiano piu da Red Hat o da Microsoft.Comprate l'originale comprate RedHat o SlackwareAnche perche se no poi rischiate di diventare come ALIEN.

Se mandrake e' l'alternativa...
...allora siamo proprio nella merda.E' grazie a distribuzioni come mandrake che linux sta pian piano diventanto una merda. Riuscira' mai la gente a capire che linux NON E' FATTO per i sistemi desktop, e che cercare di truccarlo per forza da pseudowindows significa semplicemente snaturarlo, svilirlo e ridurlo ad una porcheria non dissimile da windoz?

ORMAI LA PROTESTA E' PLANETARIA contro microzoz
ZD Net: è tempo di protestare contro Microsoft ..."Le policy di upgrade dei software Microsoft non sono prevedibili"... 28-09-2001 13:10:14 - Letto 12 volte (ZD Net) - Alla vigilia dell'uscita di Windows XP, alle preoccupazioni di molte aziende che temono di vedere molti dei loro software cancellati dai programmi preinstallati in questo sistema operativo, alle cause intentate da alcune commissioni anti-trust (Stati Uniti e Corea), si aggiungono le proteste di molti, aziende e semplici utenti, contro la recente crescita dei costi sia dei software, che degli upgrade di Microsoft.Rupert Goodwins ha scritto un articolo, che potete leggere cliccando qui, che evidenzia come sia sia evoluta e si stia ancora evolvendo questa politica commerciale di Microsoft.
