In contrast to Microsoft's SUA, the MKS Toolkit for Developers product is a well packaged, feature rich environment with a comprehensive UNIX/Linux and Windows integration management scheme designed to manage Windows environments using
UNIX commands and scripts.
During the second half of 2005, Microsoft and Intel Corporation completed a 15-city
UNIX migration road show to help more than 550 IT decision-makers understand the benefits of migrating from

Second, all password change and maintenance were taking place physically at each

Along with many others, Novell last year dismissed the idea SCO became the rightful owner of the

Readers interested in following the rapidly growing area of

Unix as gigabytes of virtual memory.
Now the hardware, mostly 32-bit Intel microprocessors, has to catch up to the 64-bit
Unix performance on reduced instruction set computing (RISC) microprocessors.
