No Recession For Computer Hardware | 08-26-2008
Analysis of: Computer Hardware: Recession-Proof? | www.businessweek.com
Author: Paul Massie, Sr. Director of IT and Facilities, Genesis Microchip Inc.

Both the server and PC markets seem to have held up very well during the past months, and barring a catastrophic collapse of the economy, likely will continue to do well.  Credit must go to the innovations in both technology and business processes achieved primarily by HP, Dell and Intel.

Analysis of: Xen Community proposing the latest feature set for 3.3 | weblog.infoworld.com
Author: Paul Massie, Sr. Director of IT and Facilities, Genesis Microchip Inc.

The next evolution of Xen software puts further pressure on VMWare’s market share and margins.  This is a clear indication that VMWare’s business model will require a major overhaul sometime in the next year or two.  Microsoft will be less impacted since they have less today.
