A group of Sun users has taken out an ad in the "San Jose Mercury News" and asked Sun CEO Scott McNealy to make Solaris 9 more available on Intel. The title of their ad/open letter to McNealy: "Shame on you, Scott." SUN PLANNING OFFENSIVE AGAINST MS? | The Register Sun is spilling a few beans at a time about its plans to tackle Microsoft's share of the desktop and entry level server market. The company is saving most of the details for the SunNetwork conference later this month, but judging from what execs have been saying, the company is planning a suite of both open source and proprietary software products to take on Microsoft. MICROSOFT, UNISYS SHOW OFF 64-BIT POWER | CRN It's kind of like IT's version of a "strongman contest." Microsoft and Unisys will flex their joint muscles this week and show off what they're calling the most powerful Windows server: The 64-bit OS Windows .NET Server 2003, Datacenter Edition and 64-bit SQL Server running on Unisys' 32-way ES7000 SMP server. These "Unix killers" will take center stage Wednesday at the Windows.NET Server DevCon conference. MAINSOFT LINKS .NET AND UNIX | ServerWatch Mainsoft is shipping a new product that enables companies to develop C++ applications using Microsoft Visual Studio.NET and deploy them to multiple Unix platforms. The product, Visual MainWin 5, promises multi-platform performance, security, and scalability while providing an XML foundation for building Web services. PRICE, PRE-CONFIGURATION CARRY HP INTO ENTRY-LEVEL UNIX FRAY A Giga Information Group analyst said the price, configurations and high-end features of HP's new entry-level Unix servers would encourage current L-, K- and N-Class customers to upgrade. HP also made competitive strides against Sun's volume-pricing offerings.

Want it fast? Check out some Web smut from the comfort of your cubicle. Or recommend some of your favorite skin sites to your coworkers (via e-mail, of course). Or if you're not into that kind of thing, spend lots of time elf bowling or shopping online. Do just one of those things and you could be on the bullet train to Bootsville. A new study from the U.K. shows that Internet and e-mail abuses will get you in hotter water than pilfering office supplies, lying to the boss or talking smack about the company. In fact, researchers found more workers got in trouble for Net naughtiness than for acts of dishonesty, violence or safety violations.
