Those same companies have decided that the time has come to consolidate their collaborative support into a new group, the Linux Foundation, which is being announced today. And the mission of the new organization is help Linux, the leading example of the open-source model of software development, to compete more effectively against Microsoft, the world’s largest software company.
What's particularly interesting is Intel's involvement since they used to be closely linked with Microsoft.

Think they are deserting Microsoft?

The Intel C++ version of STLFilt (my STL Error Message Decryptor utility) has now been updated to support Intel C++ 8 (currently in Beta) along with version 7. All three MSVC libraries are supported, yielding a total of six supported Intel C++ / MSVC lib combinations. Best results, however, are achieved by sticking with the MSVC 7.x libs. A version designed for use with the generic EDG front-end "demo" compiler is now available (libcomo...

Lately, I have been having a bear of a time trying to acquire a Linux driver for my S3/ProSavage chipset -- but that quest is now almost at an end as I have located a noble band of people who are pushing the envelop with S3 and Savage chipset drivers! Though my quest might sound like food for trolls to mock Linux -- hear me out. I think I have discovered part of the message of the new Linux economy. Many of us have criticized the...

Hi, I am testing the Intel 8.0 Compiler for Linux. For all the sources I have compiled It produces a lot faster code than the GNU g++ compiler. However, I must have something wrong, since I can't use the -ipo and -xW options for interprocedural optimization and Pentium4 optimization, which is supposed to give a lot of speed up on top. When I add the -ipo switch everything compiles ok, but then I get the linker error: ...

What would be the C++ compiler producing the fastest code for Windows XP Pro (32-bit)? I have to choose between these two: - Visual C++ 2005 compiler - Intel C++ Compiler 9.0 for Windows My previous experience with older versions of these two compilers told me that Intel code was running faster than MS code. But now that I am about to upgrade, I would lile to pick the one producing the fastest code (things may have changed!).

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
