Unisys and Microsoft worked together to develop a large server and operating system that would pit Wintel against Sun. Compaq doesn't think the industry will be ready for this stuff until Intel delivers its second generation of 64-bit processors, code-named McKinley. SOURCE: ENT Magazine http://www.entmag.com/breaknews.asp?ID=4605 =============================================== [2.] "Gartner predicts massive increase in security spending" Gartner has been looking into its crystal ball again. It sees U.S. companies increasing their security spending ten times the current average between now and 2011. So this means the security business could be securing a lot of business this decade. And while the ball is out, Gartner also sees eight out of ten enterprises using the Internet as a key part of their business by 2004.

While the high tech downturn is mostly to blame, thinning crowds at trade shows are also due to increased educational opportunities elsewhere, say conference experts.

"Next-generation 'buddy list' could transform phone habits" It's not your father's buddy list. The same kind of technology that powers instant messaging will be coming to a cell phone near you. Aptly named Presence, the technology will be able to tell you who has their phone on, who's on a call and who doesn't really want to be called - maybe he's at a movie, or she's in the middle of a mud mask. Eventually, Presence will be able to tell you where your buddies are, so maybe you can hook up with so-and-so if you see that you're both at the same boring conference and want to steal away for a while. Motorola is working on Presence. Look for it to start popping up in cell phones later this year.
