We've known about Google Chrome's "Chromoting" feature for some time. Many blogs reported it as a way to "run Windows apps on Chrome OS," which is, of course, a bit of a stretch. Now relabeled "Remoting," the feature is probably closer to running an application via Terminal Services or by first connecting to a host machine by using RDP or VNC.

One major corporation, however, has just announced a network-wide jump to an alternative browser. IBM's Bob Sutor has big news ...

One gripe against XP Mode for Windows 7 is that it required hardware-assisted virtualization support. In many cases, it was difficult to tell whether or not a system's hardware was up to snuff -- so Microsoft offered up a free download to help administrators and find out (called HAV detection tool).

Online backup provider Mozy has just introduced its enterprise backup solution, aptly named MozyEnterprise.

How's the service itself, you ask? MozyEnterprise is offered as a fee-based subscription service. ...

Microsoft is also catering to small businesses with Office 2007 as well. Microsoft realizes that small business owners also want the same kind of collaboration tools that enterprises have, but can't or don't want to have to pony up the ...

Since it's release on July 17th, 2006 SuSe Linux Enterprise 10 has been downloaded 165,000 times. There are some download numbers for your reading enjoyment. I dream of the day when someone downloads something I wrote that many times (and no not that obscure poetry from eleventh grade). Ok, now with our head back out of the clouds, SuSe's website (the enterprise edition at least) has racked up ...
