However, the corporate market is a segment of the computing field that the Mozilla Foundation is beginning to target, particularly with a new suite of products that includes the Thunderbird enterprise e-mail application...
"They would like to blunt the threat of Linux," Yankee Group senior analyst Laura DiDio told TechNewsWorld. "Software for many of these places, outside of Japan, is still very much a novelty. Microsoft is looking to compete on more equal footing in terms of cost. The other thing is [that the strategy] combats the bootleg stuff."

Calling Intel a bellwether stock, Yankee Group senior analyst Laura DiDio told the E-Commerce Times that the company's 22 percent rise in revenues compared with fourth-quarter 2002 is good news for the economy -- and an auspicious beginning for 2004 "[Those numbers are] tellin...

The popularity of game software is built on consumer buzz, and Xbox titles are selling, but they're not generating the revenue Microsoft wants them to generate, said Turley.

"My first reaction, when reading [SCO's] letter, is that it was difficult to get past [the] first paragraph," Yankee Group senior analyst Laura DiDio told the E-Commerce Times. "I understand that The SCO Group is trying to explain its position, and by so doing it hopes to change the opinion -- of a large portion of the high-tech industry -- that it is 'the bad guy.' Unfortunately, the die was cast in March 2003 when The SCO Group launched its lawsuit against IBM...
"With all of the conversation about defection to Linux from the Microsoft world, it's actually been Sun that's been hit the worst," Yankee Group senior analyst Laura DiDio told TechNewsWorld.

"There is not a software vendor out there who hasn't been a victim of this."

Perhaps it should go without saying, but without the integrated circuit, e-business as we know it would not exist. Indeed, Yankee Group senior analyst Laura DiDio told the E-Commerce Times that "no discussion of high-technology patents -- even if one is specifically talking about e-business patents -- would be complete without mentioning two of the greatest geniuses in semiconductor technology, upon which the foundation for networking and e-business is based."
