from the brace-for-destruction dept. xose quotes Linus from the kernel list: "the naming should be familiar - it's the same deal as with 2.4.0. One difference is that while 2.4.0 took about 7 months from the pre1 to the final release, I hope (and believe) that we have fewer issues facing us in the current 2.6.0. But very obviously there are going to be a few test-releases before the real thing. The point of the test versions is to make more people realize that they need testing and get some straggling developers realizing that it's too late to worry about the next big feature. I'm hoping that Linux vendors will start offering the test kernels as installation alternatives, and do things like make upgrade internal machines, so that when the real 2.6.0 does happen, we're all set." You all know what to do ;) [Slashdot] 10:43:22 AM ![]() |
Yahoo to buy Overture for $1.63 billion. The Web portal says that it plans to buy search firm Overture Services in a move squarely aimed at taking on competitors in the search engine market. [CNET News.com] Big news. More consolidation on the search front. It's shaping up to look like Yahoo vs. Google vs. Microsoft. Anyone want to bet on a winner? Here's how it could play out: Microsoft bursts onto the search scene, adding some sort of search into the core of IE and Windows. In a bit of a panic Yahoo and Google face a tough choice: battle to the end or merge. Merger seems likely but only after enough delay to give MSFT an edge. The merged Yahoogle will not be able to compete with the deep pockets of MSFT (surprize) and MSFT ends up with the search market, relagating Yahoogle to a marginal role. Time span 3-5 years.
