| The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) is to release its software
| infrastructure specifications next week. The specs will help
| technology such as NAC (network access control) determine if a device
| should be allowed network access or not.

So I guess protection from Windows' aliments is available only for the same
platform that's causing the problems in the first place. It's like a country
that takes its citizens underground and then nukes the entire planet in
order to clear locust from its land.

| This NAC/NAP lovefest would be laughable if it weren't such
| a kick-in-the-teeth to the rest of the industry, enterprise IT, and
| all Internet users. A Cisco/Microsoft oligopoly stalls implementation,
| stifles innovation, and makes the network less secure. In this way, Cisco
| and Microsoft are standing in the way of progress.
