Buzzword of the week

CITRIX SYSTEMS SAID it has agreed to buy virtualisation firm XenSource for around $500 million.

The firm reckons server and desktop virtualisation markets will grow to nearly $5 billion over the next four years, so it wants a slice of that pie.

The firm talks of synergies and granularities and all the usual sort of fluff firms come out with at such times.

Somehow it also manages not to utter the word VMware any, um, ware in its 50,000 (approx.) word press release here. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
