> Do Not Plug WXP In Your Cisco Network Yet: Crash Warning
>
>
> Computer Reseller News reported something 'interesting'. MS
> found out about
> an incompatibility between Windows XP and Cisco Systems' Catalyst 5000
> switch. The conflicts can cause your corporate networks to crash. The
> unexpected incompatibility sits between the 802.1x wireless
> security feature
> in Windows XP and the Cisco switch software that has a bug.
> Cisco has a fix
> on its website.
>
> This week, Redmond sent an e-mail to all of Microsoft
> Consulting Services
> (MCS) to not plug Windows XP machines into any network
> without explicit
> approval of the client's IT department. What seems to have
> happened is that
> a Microsoft consultant plugged a laptop running Windows XP
> into a site and
> took the entire company down.
>
> Some adventurous souls in Xerox did the same, and brought the
> whole network
> down. Xerox sent an email to all 50,000 employees and told
> them that if they
> plugged in WXP and brought the network down, they would pay
> for the damage
> out of their paycheck. Sounds like they mean it. More at:
