- Motorola's Strategy Chief Is Latest to Exit - Rich Nottenburg, Motorola Inc.'s chief strategy and technology officer, resigned amid continued turmoil in the company's executive ranks. Mr. Nottenburg's departure leaves Chief Executive Greg Brown with a shrinking pool of senior staff to help him steer Motorola as demand plummets for its cellphones and as activist investor Carl Icahn takes a greater role through two representatives on the board. The Schaumburg, Ill., equipment maker has been reeling from the meltdown of its mobile devices division, which has lost $1.6 billion since January 2007.
- Microsoft Demonstrates Windows XP on the XO - Microsoft and the One Laptop Per Child project have announced an agreement to work together on getting Windows XP available on the XO laptop, with trials starting in June 2008, and the RTM date set for August or September. Microsoft also demonstrated Windows XP Professional and Office 2003 running on the XO laptop. The implementation of Windows XP Professional on the XO laptop is not, in any way, limited or crippled, as the company explains. It's feature-complete, has a battery life of 20 hours, boots in 50 seconds (which is 4 times faster than the original XO Linux implementation), and required a whole load of custom drivers in order for it to work on the XO, which has a 433Mhz AMD Geode processor, 256MB of RAM, and 1GB of Flash storage. Microsoft needed to write drivers for the various pieces of hardware in the XO laptop, and also a new BIOS that would allow Windows XP to be booted off a 2GB Flash card; the 1GB of internal storage of the XO was not enough to house Windows XP Professional and Office 2003.
- Asus Considering Suing Gigabyte for 'Disinformation' - Asus said it is ready to file suit to counter claims made by Gigabyte Technology, apparently about the so-called "Energy Processor Unit" Asus has begun building into its motherboards. According to Asus, a rival motherboard company held a press conference to offer an early look at its Computex offerings, primarily for Asian journalists. At that press conference, which Asus officials said was held by Gigabyte, officials made what Asus felt were disparaging statements about the company's EPU as well as Asus as a manufacturer and a competitor, according to Vivien Lien, a spokeswoman for Asus' North American division. Similar statements were posted online, Lien said, where they were paraphrased and posted elsewhere.
