Sun's recent decision to use Intel chips could lead to an increase in Solaris-based enhancements to hardware-assisted virtualization tools. The newest Parallels and VMware virtualization systems are allowing some users to run Mac OS on PCs, a development that doesn't make Apple too happy.

Investments: Guide to Investment Strategy
Guide to Investment Strategy Greg N Gregoriou
Peter Stanyer sets the scene where the reader is able to learn from past mistakes individual investors and corporations have made. The author nicely puts the investor in a thinking mode, making sure he understands his niche and risk of tolerance level to attain better control of his investments to avoid unexpected surprises. This is further solidified with a behavioural finance chapter which helps one to better understand the influences of one’s behaviour’s and investor preferences and how rational investors behave in terms of their satisfaction. The author uses various examples to convey this important point. The author’s prediction that markets will be less favourable in the 21st century due to inflation gets the reader to consider that the investing landscape is now different to what it was in the 20th century and that bonds, particularly inflation-linked bonds deserve a closer look and should be included in portfolios.
