It's been a tough year for the software giant Microsoft, with headaches ranging from allegations of patent infringements to billion-dollar lawsuits to European and Japanese antitrust actions. Following their brush with federal antitrust regulators, Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer don't appear to have regained the kind of momentum - and respect - the company once enjoyed. On the competitive front, the company's server business is losing market share to Linux-based servers, and its core Windows operating system is being challenged by Linux, particularly overseas. Not that anyone is predicting serious financial trouble for the software giant, thanks to its monopoly position on the desktop. But the company may well suffer from a longer-term backlash, given that rivals are gleefully ready to ta...

Google (google.com), according to Credit Suisse's analyst Heath B. Terry, is a company with an advertising operating system, as reported in the firm's Nov 20, 2007 report, "Building Advertising's Operating System." With Nielsen (nielsen.com) NetRatings and Web pundits pegging Google's share of the Web search market at 50% or more, most people perceive Google as a Web search engine. For now, Google's probe is for general Web users. But integrating the new service into Google enterprise applications is trivial, not much more than flipping a bit from a zero to a one.

The Android mobile operating system passed the Apple iPhone in terms of U.S. market share during the first quarter, according to a report issued by the NPD Group.
According to the study, the Android OS -- developed by Google Inc. -- ended the period with a domestic market share of 28 percent. That's up from about 20 percent in the December quarter, and is due mostly to strong sales of handsets such as the Droid and Droid Eris at Verizon Wireless, according to the report.

TOKYO (AP) With an Asia rollout announced Tuesday, Hewlett- Packard Co. becomes the first major PC maker to offer desktop computer lines running the open-source Linux operating system.
The move by HP, the world's largest PC maker, with about 17 percent market share, could be a threat to Microsoft Corp., maker of the market-dominating Windows operating system.

The release of Apple's OS X "Tiger" operating system upgrade didn't make much of a blip outside of the Apple world. Granted, the Apple market share still hovers only around 5 percent, so a new operating system may not be front-page news.
But Tiger ought to be considered a shot across the bow of Microsoft, which still won't release an upgrade to Windows XP for another 18 months. Considering the older Mac OS X operating system was already better than Windows, this new version should do two things: attract more people to the Apple platform and/or encourage Microsoft to add more features to the next version of Windows, called "Longhorn.
