<font size="+1"><b>Slowing sales shrinking Intel workforce</b></a></font><br>
Intel announced lower-than-expected earnings yesterday and that <b>4,000 jobs</b> (5 percent of its staff) would be eliminated this year. This may bring Intel's margins back in line, but the overall <b>outlook is not bright</b> in the coming months, despite Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's optimism about a more timely recovery.
<font size="+1"><b>VMware ups consolidation ante</b></a></font><br>
The new version of VMware's lower-end server product is slated to run atop the latest versions of Linux  from SuSE,
MandrakeSoft and Red Hat, as well as Microsoft Windows .Net Server due this year. Offering more Intel-server based

<b>Software contracts: Clause for alarm</b></a></font><br>
In the high-stakes game of corporate software negotiations, the silver-tongued sales rep isn't your biggest challenge: It's
the <b>language in the contracts</b>. Enterprise customers spend surprisingly little time pouring over the fine print of
multi-million dollar software contracts that are rife with obscure terminology, vague expansion charges, and <b>mind-boggling
license conversions</b>. As a result, they end up paying in ways they had never imagined long after the deal is signed. Just

Don't just bring in Linux as yet another OS to manage. To help you determine whether Linux offers better TCO than Windows,

<font size="+1"><b>Rack server a la mode</b></a></font><br>
With its Xserve rack-mount server, <b>Apple is moving into enterprise territory</b>. The specs are impressive: Dual 1GHz
PowerPC G4s, up to 2GB DDR SDRAM, two 64-bit 66MHz PCI slots (plus a third combination PCI/AGP slot), dual Gigabit Ethernet,
FireWire and USB ports, and four Ultra ATA/100 Apple Drive Module bays. But <b>Bill O'Brien</b> thinks Apple's
<b>licensing</b> may be even more appealing than the hardware.
