Evidence mounting: Windows 7 going modular, subscription

03/24/2008  
Relevance: 6.91
When Windows 7 launches sometime after the start of 2010, the desktop OS will be Microsoft's most"modular" yet. Having never really been comfortable with the idea of a single, monolithic desktop OS offering, Microsoft has offered multiple desktop OSes in the marketplace ever since the days of Windows NT 3.1, with completely different code bases until they were unified in Windows 2000. Unification isn't necessarily a good thing, however; Windows Vista is a sprawling, complex OS.[I thought this might be of interest to our readers even though it is not FOSS related. - Scott]

Relevance: 6.32
Back in 2005 we had looked at the Hiper Type-R Modular 580W power supply. This was a unique power supply that had a modular cable design and had performed very well. Even the Type-R's packaging was unique, with the power supply arriving in a plastic toolbox. We haven't looked at a Hiper power supply now in almost three years, but today we are looking at the Type-M 780W from Hiper Group. This power supply is dual-GPU ready (including compatibility with PCI-E 8-pin connectors), utilizes active PFC, and has four +12V rails.

Open source, Lego-like computer modules run Linux

Relevance: 5.93
A six-person startup is readying a modular, open source hardware/software system resembling a set of electronic Legos. Bug Labs claims device developers can build"anything" using"Bug," which comprises an ARM11-powered base and various modular add-ons. Boldly suggesting that"CE" could someday stand for"community electronics" instead of"consumer electronics," Bug Labs invites hardware and software developers to contribute to the"open source" project, designing hardware and software modules of their own, and sharing their work back into the community. One suggested mix-and-match combo is a GPS/digital camera device that acts as a mobile, standalone Web service for publishing geo-tagged photos.
