Just a guess, but: Microsoft, like a lot of companies, suffers from NIH syndrome (Not Invented Here). They don't have a BitTorrent client/server of their own. Until and unless that happens, they won't use it. Intel's the same way. Heck, look at Apple, they consider NIH syndrome a feature. > a product activation system that doesn't get cracked in the first 5 > minutes of their release. Product Activation is software trying to determine the trustworthiness of the operator while it's running on hardware the operator controls. Any security analyst will tell you that you will *ALWAYS* loose that battle. There isn't anything Microsoft can do about this. The failure of PA is one thing that's not Microsoft's fault. (The fact that they keep trying anyway *is*, of course.) (And actually, there is one thing Microsoft could do: Get the industry to adopt standard hardware-based controls (i.e., DRM) in the CPU and/or motherboard core logic. That's what TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is all about, and why there's so little interest in it outside of software publishers: It's all about making your computer into something that's not entirely yours anymore. It's like buying a car with a padlock on the hood, and only the dealer has the key.) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
