Oslo, Norway - March 8, 2007 Today Opera Software unveiled its new and improved My Opera Community, an online oasis where users can blog, share photos, chat and make friends. My Opera is a free service that features a freshly re-designed user interface and is now specially optimized for surfing from not only the PC, but Wii, Opera Mini and Opera Mobile as well. As My Opera is easily accessible from Opera-Powered devices, Opera ensures the same community experience cross-device. My Opera makes it simple to browse photo albums, post blog entries or message friends from the convenience of any platform. "The Opera Mini integration with My Opera is one of my biggest reasons for using it," says Yojimbo, a My Opera member and aviation student. "A few clicks and I've let the whole world know what I'm up to, wherever I am, even while 6,000 feet off the ground." In addition, My Opera Community allows users to quickly find friends and get to know others with the recently added "People" section. By clicking on People, users are directed to a profile page highlighting members and what they're talking about. "The launch of the new My Opera is a testament to our users, telling them that we are listening," says Jon von Tetzchner, CEO for Opera Software. "We want this community to be less about Opera and more about the individuals that comprise My Opera. Our intention is to provide a service that is for the users and driven by the ever-increasing number of users, and we feel that we've taken the first step with this launch." My Opera features explained: People - Meet the Opera Community in the "People" section. Check out the latest logged-in users, or search for members by their usernames. Blogging - Create your own blog, read a blog or "spotlight" other bloggers in the community with My Opera's free blogging service. Photo blogging - Snap a picture with your camera phone and upload it instantly to your My Opera page using Opera Mini. My Opera and your device - My Opera is optimiz
PALO ALTO, Calif., March 7, 2007 HP today announced benchmark results confirming the HP BladeSystem c-Class uses up to 27 percent less power than the IBM BladeCenter-H in similar configurations that reflect real-world customer usage of blade server environments.(1) The results derive from a week-long study conducted by Sine Nomine Associates of Ashburn, Va., which examined the overall power consumption and external airflow requirements of a variety of blade server and 1U rack server configurations in a typical data center environment experiencing light to heavy use. The documented and publicly available results demonstrate that the HP BladeSystem c-Class and its zoned cooling properties not only lower power usage through efficient power distribution but also optimize airflow, which is a significant component in keeping data centers cool. In fact, the benchmark study shows the HP BladeSystem c-Class requires 60 percent less airflow than the IBM BladeCenter-H. HP, the new industry leader in factory revenues and units shipped for blade servers,(2) features HP Thermal Logic technology in its BladeSystem enclosure to offer customers reduced power and cooling loads right out of the box. "Power and cooling are serious issues for customers," said Mark Potter, vice president, BladeSystem Division, HP. "Sine Nomine took an objective look at this real-world customer problem and the test results show what we already knew: HP BladeSystem c-Class featuring Thermal Logic is the clear choice for customers addressing their power and cooling challenges." HP offers broad power and cooling portfolio Recent industry studies reveal that data center power density has increased more than tenfold in the last 10 years and that, in some cases, cooling represents upwards of 70 percent of the total data center power spend for customers.(3) These costs are driven by the data center power requirements and the cubic feet per minute of cooling airflow. While some vendors focus on single aspects of

ORLANDO, Fla., March 7, 2007 - Jeff Raikes, president of Microsoft's Business Division, today predicted that the enhanced voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) and other advances in upcoming Microsoft Office system products will dramatically reduce the costs and frustrations associated with workplace communications. Raikes offered the prediction during a keynote address at the VoiceCon Spring 2007 conference in Orlando, Fla. He also announced Microsoft's plans to begin public beta-testing later this month of the company's first two products that include enhanced VoIP capabilities: Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and Office Communicator 2007, Microsoft's unified communications client. In a webcast statement, taped prior to today's announcement, Raikes discusses the greatly expanded role that software will play in the future of business communications. He also offers his perspective on how information workers and companies will benefit from Office Communications Server 2007, which combines enhanced VoIP, instant messaging (IM), presence and audio/video conferencing.
