  Citrix to purchase XenSource[->] 2007-08-16 14:48 C_Kode

Submitted by C_Kode on Thursday August 16 2007, @02:48PM
C_Kode writes "It seems that Citrix is going to purchase XenSource for around $500 million. This could be bad news as there are rumors of someone else buying Citrix. We've been testing XenSource and VMWare. While VMWare appears to be the better product, XenSource is more affordable. The sell of XenSource draws new questions into what we are going to do."

  Windows Vista Upgrade Invalidates XP Key 2007-02-01 10:05 Karrde712

Submitted by Karrde712 on Thursday February 01 2007, @10:05AM
Karrde712 writes "From Vista's EULA (Warning: PDF): "13. UPGRADES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. Upon upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software you upgraded from. After you upgrade, you may no longer use the software you upgraded from." According to LXer, during the upgrade process, Microsoft will invalidate your original Windows XP cd-key, preventing its use on another computer. Since you cannot install the Vista upgrade media from a system without Windows XP already on it and activated, this makes the Vista upgrade a one-way move."
