Seem like a contradition to me. Other than that, it should be noted that MS "acceptance" of public standards was always in part of its E^3 (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish). [A recent victim is, of course, Kerberos]. This means its adoption/release of some open standard by MS only signifies they are in the first phase (Embrace) as their market share in that arena is not dominant. If/when they acquire dominant position you'll start to see "Extensions" to the standard (Which will be fiercely defended by MS against reimplementation). -- Oron Peled Voice/Fax: +972-4-8228492 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.actcom.co.il/~oron ICQ UIN: 16527398 Code Red, Blue or Green there all a symptom of a far more pervasive and insidious virus, it costs around $200. -anonymous ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
