"I thought I'd drop you a note to give a heads up on something Google will be releasing
next week: a version of our Internet Explorer toolbar for Firefox", the e-mail reads. - while
microsoft spoofs icann entries to spam against opensource, quality speaks for itself. ~*~

Apparently information on approximately 200,000 accounts was verifiably transferred
out the payment processor's computer system, but the credit card companies said they
do not intend to notify people of the problem unless the accounts are used fraudulently. ~*~

In 2000, the classically-minded among us may have noted a TV ad
for Microsoft's IE e-mail program, which uses the musical theme of the
"Confutatis Maledictis" from Mozart's "Requiem."
"Where do you want to go today ?" is the cheery line on the screen.
Later, the chorus sings "Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis,"
which translates: "The damned and accursed are convicted to flames of hell." ...
Seems even Gates of chAos and his MS con-sorts are having a clue sometimes ... . ~*~

You probably know that a program called Microsoft AntiSpyware is
currently being given away by the Redmond company in a public beta program.

What you may not know is that the program started out being co-developed
by another software company — which happens to own the rights to
Microsoft's spyware database for the better part of the next three years.

That's an interesting tale, and the telling of it may
give your company a look into the future of all such software.

Good Fences Make Good Developers

Stu Sjouwerman is the founder and COO of Sunbelt Software, the maker of
IHateSpam, Directory Inspector, and many other programs for PCs. Sunbelt
is also the publisher of CounterSpy, an anti-adware program based on much
of the same code as Microsoft AntiSpyware.

As of April 12, Windows XP users who have not downloaded Service Pack 2
will no longer be able to block the update from downloading onto their machines
without blocking other updates at the same time; users can prevent SP2 from
downloading by disabling Automatic Update.
One survey shows that only about 25% of corporate PCs running XP have downloaded XP2.
