Sun Modifies Its Packaging of Trusted Solaris
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Sun Microsystems launched its Solaris 10 operating system in what was perhaps one of the longest product debuts in history. Sun talked up new features of Solaris 10 throughout the summer and fall of 2004 and into the early weeks of 2005, when it was finally released. And throughout that time, Sun inadvertently gave the impression that its high-security variant of Solaris, called Trusted Solaris, was being merged into Solaris 10. This is not exactly true.

IDC Says Unix Server Sales Rebounded in Q4 2004
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The analysts at IDC somewhat surprisingly announced that according to their statistics, the Unix server market rebounded slightly in the final quarter of 2004. IDC said that Unix server sales across all architectures were up 2.7 percent in the quarter to $5.2 billion, which was all the more surprising given a tough compare to the prior year's fourth quarter. Perhaps more significantly, compared to the third quarter of 2004, Unix server sales in the fourth quarter were more than $1 billion higher. READ MORE >

From point A to point B, sometimes through point C and oftentimes on to D or E, more than 200,000 passengers a day count on ANA to get them to their destinations on time.
So, through more than 800 flights per day, ANA's Flight Management System sees to it, that, as Japan's leading airline in on-time performance, ANA continues to remain on time.
And behind this benchmark of punctuality, working away millisecond by millisecond, is HP technology. Find out more.

by Alex Woodie

As I See It: To Tell or Not to Tell
by Victor Rozek
An interesting ethical dilemma was recently posed by an IT Jungle reader. Assume you are about to join the dispirited ranks of the unemployed, a victim of the latest round of corporate cost-cutting. Your job may be old news, but your memory is quite fresh. You take with you a great deal of information about your IT operation, none of it particularly good. There are a number of serious problems that you believe will, in short order, have a disastrous effect on the company if not addressed. The question is: Should you tell anyone before you leave?
