This study gathered the opinions of technical personnel at companies who have used Linux support services provided by Novell, Oracle, and Red Hat within the previous 12 months. This reported that out of the users rating percentages for these three distributions, Novell was 71 percent, which was 6 percent higher than Oracle users and 10 percent higher than Red Hat users. It also showed the differences for mixed-platform environments, which were even more pronounced.

We at XLRI have structured our programmes in such a manner as to equip the future managers of tomorrow with learning, competencies and skills that can significantly contribute to the growth of the organization.

...need in a timely manner, and at a reasonable cost. Since a program typically involves the efforts of many people and usually results in one or more contractual actions, an acquisition plan will guide the work of many people through one or more contractual actions. The plan shall address all the technical, business, management, and other significant considerations that will control the program throughout the investment life cycle. The plan shall be brief but comprehensive (Engel beck, 2002). I would ensure that all other considerations that influence the acquisition decision, such as which items are to be developed or produced in-house and which procured from outside the immediate organization. I would ensure the process demanded teamwork and that all responsible elements involved developed, coordinated, and integrated their prescribed body of knowledge into a comprehensive acquisition plan (i.e. Logistics, engineering, production, etc…). In order to develop the statement of need, mission needs result from the need to develop a capability, to improve an existing capability, or to exploit an opportunity to reduce cost. In addition to a brief summary of the statement of need, a technical and contractual history of the acquisition includes other topics, such as feasible alternatives, the impact of prior acquisition on those alternatives, and any other related in-house effort. Justification for general requirements is strengthened if it is related to a...

...Microsoft corporation I.history History Main articles: History of Microsoft and History of Microsoft Windows Paul Allen and Bill Gates (respectively) on October 19, 1981 in a sea of PCs after signing a pivotal contract. IBM called Microsoft in July 1980 inquiring about programming languages for its upcoming PC line;[1] after failed negotiations with another company, IBM gave Microsoft a contract to develop the OS for the new line of PCs.[2] Paul Allen and Bill Gates, childhood friends with a passion in computer programming, were seeking to make a successful business utilizing their shared skills. The January 1975 issue of Popular Electronics featured Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems's (MITS) Altair 8800 microcomputer. Allen noticed that they could program a BASIC interpreter for the device; after a call from Gates claiming to have a working interpreter, MITS requested a demonstration. Since they didn't actually have one, Allen worked on a simulator for the Altair while Gates developed the interpreter. Although they developed the interpreter on a simulator and not the actual device, the interpreter worked flawlessly when they demonstrated the interpreter to MITS in Albuquerque, New Mexico in March 1975; MITS agreed to distribute it, marketing it as Altair BASIC.[3] They officially established Microsoft on April 4, 1975, with Gates as the CEO.[4] In August 1977 the company formed an agreement with ASCII Magazine in Japan, resulting in its first international office...
