Operating Systems Battle Draining Precious IT Budget and
Resources

BELLEVUE, Wash., — March 5, 2009 — The evil eyes, destroyed
relationships and recriminations associated with the long-raging
battles over Mac, Windows, Unix and Linux operating systems are on
their way to becoming distant memories thanks to Likewise
Software’ solutions and their new t-shirts.

The t-shirts are available at likewise.com/tshirts

Likewise Open and Enterprise software products enable
organizations to integrate multiple operating systems into a
Microsoft Active Directory environment. To commemorate the ending
of the OS hostilities, Likewise has released two t-shirts, which
people can proudly wear to demonstrate their commitment to the
hope, and to the peaceful co-existence of heterogeneous systems
(that, um, means Windows, Mac OS, Linux and Unix.)

“The costs of the OS wars have been high both in IT costs and
even personal relationships,” said Likewise CEO Barry Crist who
experienced first-hand the IT carnage early in his career when he
worked at Apple and his fiance-now-wife Maureen worked at
Microsoft. “The hostilities have gone on for too long. With
Likewise Open – a powerful, free, open source solution for
enterprise users of Linux, Unix, and Mac systems – and our new
t-shirts, our users can openly and actively declare their support
to end the IT-wars.”

“We love the software and the t-shirts both for their value to
the enterprise as well as the statement that they make,” said an
unknown and completely irrelevant industry analyst who did not want
to be identified. “T-shirts are pretty much all most system
administrators wear. This product line expansion is the latest of a
series of smart moves the company has been making over the past
several years.”

All proceeds from the sale of Likewise t-shirts will go to
organizations that help both civilian and military casualties of
real war.

About Likewise Software (the serious stuff that nobody ever
reads) Likewise Software provides identity management solutions
designed to improve operational efficiencies, increase security and
help achieve regulatory compliance in mixed network
environments.

And, it comes in two flavors:

Likewise Open allows large organizations to securely
authenticate Linux, Unix and Mac systems with a unified directory
such as Microsoft Active Directory.

Likewise Enterprise includes all of the core authentication
technology that comes with Likewise Open, plus world-class
migration, group policy, audit and reporting modules. For more
