On 30 June, 2003, Microsoft withdrew support for Windows New Technology (NT). Windows NT users no longer have the right to download updates to Internet Explorer and will not get a patch when new security vulnerabilities are discovered in this version of Microsoft's operating system. Very few companies are still using NT on critical systems, so the withdrawal of support is unlikely generate any real anger or resentment. However, now that NT has been retired, what is Microsoft going to do with the ageing operating system's source code? There will not be any new applications created for it, and it's difficult to display software in a museum or gallery. So after spending so many billions on development, what will happen? I can't imagine the code will be simply deleted. However much the software giant would like us to forget that NT ever existed -- and push everyone into a Windows Server 2003 upgrade -- there are thousands of developers out there who would love to have the opportunity to turn the ageing OS into a masterpiece. So why not let them have a go by releasing NT 4.0's source code into the open-source community? There are obvious commercial reasons for keeping its current source code -- for Windows XP, Server 2003 and others -- a closely guarded secret. After all, if you owned something that was making billions of pounds a year, you'd want to protect it too. But who knows where the market is going to be in another two years? Linux has been nibbling away at the Windows userbase for a number of years, but it has made an enormous impact this year. So far in 2003, Microsoft has lost a number of high-profile government contracts to the open-source operating system. This trend looks set to continue, and we may one day look back and recognise this time as the beginning of the end of Microsoft's monopoly over the desktop. As Linux continues to penetrate the desktop space, Microsoft could open new revenue streams by providing support for subscribers to its open-source NT. Although companies are slowly moving their desktops to Linux, an open-source version of Windows, with Microsoft providing support, might be something they would wait for. In many ways, it could derail the Linux express train before it reaches full speed. read full article source: zdnet

An e-mail spammer who promised people cash for stuffing envelopes in a bogus work-at-home scheme has agreed to pay more than US$200,000 to victims and may be sentenced to close to five years in prison for wire fraud, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced Wednesday. Nelson Barrero, one of the owners of Stuffingforcash.com Corp., American Publishing Inc., Sound Publications Inc., and Mailmax Inc., plead guilty in May to one count of wire fraud and one count of mail fraud in U.S. District Court in East St. Louis, Illinois, after an investigation by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. Under sentencing guidelines, Barrero, of Weston, Florida, could go to prison for 46 to 57 months. Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 5 in U.S. District Court in East St. Louis. Barrero's lawyer in the FTC case, Charles Jaffee, said he had no comment on a settlement announced Wednesday. His lawyer in the criminal case, Frank Rubino, wasn't immediately available for comment. Barrero and company employees Eduardo Gonzales and Ileana M. Morales have agreed to stop promoting work-at-home businesses and pay about US$221,600 back to victims, in the settlement with the FTC. The defendants are also barred in the settlement from disclosing information from their customer lists. The settlement does not include an admission of illegal activity. In July 2002, a U.S. district court judge shut down the Stuffingforcash.com Web sites, at the request of the FTC. People who signed up with the Web sites, but did not receive the promised supplies or promised income, can file to receive their money back by going to the online complaint form at www.ftc.gov and typing "stuffing" in the subject line. Victims will be required to provide checks, credit card receipts, or other proof that they were victims of the scam. Barrero allegedly made about US$2 million by persuading about 50,000 people that they could make up to $2,000 a week by stuffing envelopes, Reppert said. "This was not a mega-corporation," he added. "They made a lot of money, but this was a mom-and-pop operation." read full article source:itworld.com

Microsoft Corp. finally placed a definitive stake in the lucrative identity management market Wednesday by unveiling a revamped version of its Meta Directory product, dubbed Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003. In conjunction with its new offering, Microsoft also introduced "Identity and Access Management Solution Accelerator," a new set of prescriptive guidelines created with Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP to help customers build and test identity management infrastructures. Partnerships with Oblix Inc. and OpenNetworks Technologies Inc. will help extend Microsoft's reach to cross-platform levels as well. Microsoft Identity Integration Server (MIIS) improves upon the software giant's Meta Directory Server through the addition of new features including automated account provisioning, the synchronization of identity information, and Web-based self-service password management capabilities, said Michael Stevenson, lead product manager for Windows Server Division for Microsoft in Redmond, Washington. As part of its fledgling identity management strategy, Microsoft rolled out new offerings for Windows Server 2003, which will appear by the end of the third quarter. read full article

Sharman networks, distributor of the popular peer-to-peer file sharing software, Kazaa, and their partner, Altnet have their hopes set on their newly established committee, the Distributed Computing Industry Association (DCIA). Sharman networks are hoping that the commitee will help legitimize P2P networks and software, which has been under constant fire from Hollywood, the recording industry, software developers and politicians since the rise and fall of Napster. The DCIA is hoping to establish a neutral "forum", where all parties involved in the pro/anti P2P movements can express their concerns and discuss possible strategies for the future of both sides. Just last week, in an attempt to discourage people from using P2P networks, the RIAA announced plans to gather information on users distributing and willingly downloading material that breaches copyright laws. This move will give the RIAA the power to file thousands of individual copyright infringement lawsuits. While the future of P2P networks is uncertain, this movement is a step in the right direction for the existence of both P2P industries and the recording and movie industries. read full article cnet news

Last night at exactly 11pm, i was driving home from work. It was raining, and as i was about to go around a sharp bend, i notice a car speeding up behind me. I had to speed up cuz if the car had of hit me from behind, it would have sent me straight into a concrete barrier, killing me instantly. So I speed up, get round the majority of the corner and my car slid sideways. To correct the slide so i wouldnt slam into a telegraph pole, i countersteered, too much and it sent me into a spin. I managed to regain control of my car, narrowly missing a car that was doing 100km/h easy, if i had of hit the car, i wouldn't be posting here on MSFN any more. All that saved me are skills that my dad has tought me...be greatful for life as it can be taken away from you in an instant.
