Microsoft unveiled not one, but two versions of the system they plan on selling at launch. One version of the system will be known as the “Core System,” and will come with the console, one wired controller, standard AV cables, a detachable faceplate, and an Xbox Live Silver membership for $299. The second version of the system will ship with the console, a 20-gigabyte hard drive, one wireless controller, an Xbox Live headset, high definition AV cables, Ethernet cable, a universal media remote and an Xbox Live Silver membership, for a slightly heftier price tag of $399. Many gamers and pundits have criticized Microsoft for not including the hard drive on both models of the system, since the original Xbox shipped with a 20-gigabyte hard drive right out of the box. Microsoft does plan to sell the hard drive separately at a price of $99-99. Gamers have complained that they’ll be spending $399 no matter what version they buy, because Microsoft and many game developers have stated that many games will require the hard drive to function properly. Comments on this story? E-mail gamecockfeatures@gurm.sc. edu £°IDI)ll • COflTinUCD FROm 5 A string of companies have so far failed to improve upon Microsoft. Ximian had an open source e-mail product that could connect with Exchange servers and was popular with some open-source fans, but it didn’t take off in a big way. Then there’s Scalix, which was launched with great fanfare two years ago, but has also not made great headway. There is Mitch Kapor’s Chandler project, which has also failed to see widespread adoption. Zimbra hopes to wage a grass roots campaign: winning individual converts, some within big companies, who then spread the word to corporate information technology officers, persuading them to adopt Zimbra, too. Zimbra’s product is a test version, but it hopes to release a version ready for big companies within a few months, says Chief Executive Satish Dharmaraj. He and his team of 35 — most of them engineers — hope to make it as secure as Microsoft and easy to install on computers. It wants to undercut Microsoft, which can charge up to, $150 per user for companies that want all the bells and whistles — from support to security and more. Zimbra is offering its product for $30 per user. Several other features show off Zimbras graphics technology. One is a flight tracker service. You scroll over a flight number, and up pops a map with a pin for where the plane is. Zimbra lets you overlap your calendar with the calendar of your colleagues — in case you want to coordinate meetings. And if you want to change a meeting day from within the calendar, Zimbra lets you drag and drop the entry — without having to type the different day. The technology behind these features is called AJAX, or Asynchronous Javascript and XML. Basically, it allows much more information from a company’s corporate server to be stored within a browser, allowing for swifter operations, for example, of the drag-and drop kind. Dharmaraj started the company in late 2003, along with co-founders Ross Dargahi and Roland Schemers. He then started recruiting Scott Dietzen, chief technology officer at BEA Systems. Dietzen hedged for a while, but finally joined this year. Dharmaraj and his management team decided to work in cubicles at the center of their office, and give engineers the more spacious individual office rooms. Dietzen said he had become frustrated with having to spend up to four hours a day plowing through e-mail at BEA. As liaison between BEA’s customers and his engineers, he had to painstakingly cut, paste and forward e-mails. But with 600 folders, he often got lost trying to find crucial correspondence. A clinching moment came while he sitting in a hotel room in Paris and his e-mail load made him miss dinner. Since he started to use Zimbra, he said, “I’m at least 30 percent more productive.” Rather than locking e-mail into certain folders, Zimbra lets you cross-reference them with subject tags, so e-mails can be searched in multiple ways. Zimbra’s e-mail search also looks beyond single folders, Dietzen explained. Quigmans ♦ By Buddy Hickerson Horoscopes ARIES Conditions are changing in your favor, big time.
