Microsoft Linux? Or Microsoft Unix?
Microsoft Linux? Or Microsoft Unix? Ryan writes "Microsoft working on a version of Linux? Mike Elgan writes that the Redmond company is losing its grip on the government market, and when the corporate market falls it will be motivated to release its own Linux distribution. Microsoft Linux may soon be more than just a hoax!" Of course, the argument isn't based on any actual knowledge, but just a reasoned guess. This rumor/prediction seems to pop up every few months, and I usually just ignore it. However, now, the latest I, Cringely column has a much more well reasoned analysis of why he thinks Microsoft is going to launch their own Unix. He thinks that's the real reason behind their recent licensing of Unix IP from SCO. They realized that if they're going to launch their own Unix-style operating system, why not make it actually Unix, instead of Linux? As I said, these rumors (and hoaxes) have been around for ages, so I wouldn't put too much weight into them at this point. [via Techdirt]

ASP.NET Forums
ASP.NET Forums

Last night we updated the ASP.NET Website to ASP.NET 1.1. So far so good, we found a couple of bugs in the forums that we had to patch this morning, but overall the site seems to run faster! Today we got even more good news, we should have our new dual-processor SQL box online by-end-of-week. It's somewhat amazing that our little SQL Server (single-proc. 750 MHZ 1GB RAM) has handled the load of (we're serving about 100K unique users / day on the site right now.):

  • All the content from www.asp.net (all content is stored in the DB)
  • All the interactive content from www.asp.net/ControlGallery/
  • All the interactive content from www.asp.net/Forums/ (requires the most database utilization)
  • All the interactive online versions of the starter kits (such as IBuySpy Store, Portal, etc.)

Unfortunately the search functionality of the forums is killing CPU utilization on the SQL Server. Once we get the new DB in place we'll dedicate it to the forums --- should definitley speed up the site even more! [via Rob Howard's Blog]
