needed to have a way of making sure that those kinds of demanding applications could be served at the same time as all the normal uses," said
Internet2s chief executive, Doug Van Houweling. An institution typically has one 10 Gbps connection to the 100 Gbps Internet2 backbone for normal
Internet usage, along with a second 10 Gbps connection it can tap on demand for specific needs, said Van Houweling.

neowin.net - 14.10.2007Market Share 2007: Mac OS gains 3.15%, Vista grabs 10.48%
Throughout 2007, according to reports by Net Applications, Mac OS increased its market share by 3.15% while Vista managed to grab 10.48% market share.
Windows XP lost 8.39% of the OS market share in the same time period, quite unsurprising considering Vista is its successor, while Linux increased by
0.26%. Nothing too mind-boggling, but definitely interesting, to say the least. At the end of December 2007, the (incomplete) standings are as
follows:
Windows XP - 76.91%
Windows Vista - 10.48%

Comcast, the largest provider of cable-based broadband service in the U.S., will limit residential customers to 250GB of bandwidth a month beginning
Oct. 1, the company announced late Thursday. Comcast will contact customers who go above the 250GB limit and ask them to curtail their use, Comcast
said. If a customer goes over the monthly limit again during the following six months, Comcast will suspend service for a year.
Currently,
Comcast contacts high-bandwidth customers and will suspend their accounts if they don't curb their use, but it has not set a firm bandwidth limit
until now. Most customers contacted about their bandwidth usage agree to limit their activity, according to Charlie Douglas, Comcast's director of
communications.

RIAA has reached an agreement to stop suing individuals who continue to share music illegally, but will cut your internet connection off instead. The
decision was reached with ISP's to send a warning letter to individuals who have been suspected or caught by the RIAA, who will set up P2P
listening posts to catch individuals and submit their information to their ISP. After 2 or 3 warnings, your ISP will slow your internet connection,
and if a user continues to share music illegally, they will be shut off for good. RIAA has sued more than 35,000 people since they began operations
in 2003, which was very costly to the music industry and time consuming.

neowin.net - 19.12.2008XP or Vista - Which is more at risk from Windows 7?
Its been around 30 months since Windows Vista hit the General Availability milestone, and in that time the OS has only managed to claw some 18% of the
OS market share. Compare that weak market share to the aging Windows XP, which even today commands an impressive 73% market share. With Windows 7 now
only a few weeks away from the General Availability milestone, its interesting to wonder what effect 7 will have on XP and Vista market share.

winbeta.org - 31.10.2007Windows Vista and Mac OSX see surge in consumer use
While businesses and corporate entities may have little interest in using either Vista or Mac OSX, both are gaining popularity and market share but
only in the area related to home or home office use which is both good and bad.
Its good in the fact that Vista now has a 10%
market share in computers that are connected to the Internet, its bad that corporations are either not going to deploy Vista or have delayed
deployments so much that by the time it comes around again, Windows 7 may be out.
Mac OSX now has something in the area of a 7%
market share, Mac use has seen excellent growth over the past year but has not been without its share of problems. Large corporations would never deploy OSX on a wide scale so that is not a concern there.

One million UK consumers have exceeded or come close to exceeding their broadband usage limit, research from consumer group uSwitch has found.
So-called usage caps, where internet service providers limit the amount of bandwidth users can have in any given month, are standard
practice.
But the majority of users are still confused by the bandwidth curbs imposed on them, the research found.
For some who
go over their limit the penalty is disconnection.
"With so much reliance on broadband, having the service disconnected could feel to
someone as serious as having their electricity cut off," said Tim Wolfenden, spokesman for uSwitch.

betanews.com - 29.11.2005Microsoft to Limit Capabilities of Cheap Laptops
Microsoft is launching a program to promote the use of its Windows OS in ultra low-cost PCs, one effect of which will be to limit the hardware
capabilities of this type of device, IDG News Service has learned.
Microsoft plans to offer PC makers steep discounts on Windows
XP Home Edition to encourage them to use that OS instead of Linux on ultra low-cost PCs (ULPCs). To be eligible, however, the PC vendors that make
ULPCs must limit screen sizes to 10.2 inches and hard drives to 80G bytes, and they cannot offer touch-screen PCs.
The program is
outlined in confidential documents that Microsoft sent to PC makers last month, and which were obtained by IDG News Service. The goal apparently is to
limit the hardware capabilities of ULPCs so that they don't eat into the market for mainstream PCs running Windows Vista, something both Microsoft
and the PC vendors would want to avoid.

neowin.net - 30.05.2009Vista use grows as Mac OS X stays flat
Windows Vista's share of
online users has increased
every month this year, while
rival Mac OS X -- to which
Vista has often been compared
-- has shown little, if any,
growth, a metrics company
reports.
According to
Net
Applications, in June
Windows Vista accounted for
4.52% of all systems that
browsed the Web, up from
January's 0.18%. Vista grew
its usage share each month
since its release to consumers
Jan. 30, hitting 0.93% in
February, 2.04% in March,
3.02% in April and 3.74% in
May. Apple Inc.'s Mac OS X,
meanwhile, accounted for 6.22%
in January, hit its high point
of 6.46% in May, but slipped
back to 6% in June.
If Vista's uptake trend
continues, it should pass Mac
OS X in Web usage share by the
end of August. ..

As Microsoft Corp.'s Windows
Vista and Apple Inc.'s Mac OS
X continued to grow their
share of the operating system
market last month, Mozilla
Corp.'s Firefox suffered its
biggest-ever drop in usage, a
Web metrics company reported.
By the end of May,
Vista accounted for 3.74% of
all operating systems on
machines connecting to Net
Applications Inc.'s clients'
Web sites. The total share for
Mac OS X -- which included
older editions running on
PowerPC processors as well as
version 10.4, or "Tiger," on
Intel-powered Macs -- was
6.46%. Vista was up about
three-quarters of a percentage
point from April, while Mac OS
X was up a quarter of a point.
Their gains came
largely at the expense of
earlier versions of Windows,
such as Windows XP and Windows
2000, although Net
Applications' "Other"
category, which is essentially
Linux, also faded slightly. ..
