I'd rather read War and Peace in Russian (not a tongue I am familiar with) rather than reading M$ Passport specs! The sad thing is, that I might end up having to read that Passport rubbish if MS get their way and dominate the corporate Internet services marketplace. Somehow, I don't think they will. When I speak to anyone about MS future plans, people start asking me when I can start migration to Linux ;-) Some of those points: - New windows version will not be backwards compatible - New Office may not be backwards compatible - Filesytems will not be backwards compatible - Digital Rights Management and all that Cheers, -- [-Partly Cloudy in Rabat, 18°C/64°F.
