Beleaguered server and software maker Sun Microsystems said Friday that it will lay off as many as 6,000 employees, or 18 percent of its worldwide workforce, over the next year.

The European Union is looking at Microsoft's vow to commit to openness and interoperability with a jaundiced eye.

Chipmaker Intel has acquired a minor ownership stake in EMC's VMware software unit, a move that comes as the storage company readies its fast-growing server virtualization subsidiary for an initial public offering.

With the dust still settling from its landmark deal to work with Microsoft on new products and support, Novell on Tuesday gave the first look into the financial details of the agreement, saying it would receive as much as US$400 million in direct payments and marketing support from its onetime bitte...
