| Ladies & Gentlemen I give you Web 2.0, the new and improved thin client cum
| cloud computing model where all you need to do anything is a browser and a
| fat pipe.
|
| And what do browsers send GET requests to?
|
| Penny dropping yet?
|
| So Microsoft 7 ships with what used to be once the Berkeley TCP/IP stack for
| network communications and with what used to be once the Apache web server
| for Web 2.0, in EXACTLY the same way that Internet Explorer was bundled in
| the past, Web 2.0 requires a browser to be bundled with the OS and integrated
| into it.
|
| When I say "Microsoft 7" I mean of course every version from Microsoft 7
| Embedded to Microsoft 7 Godzilla Enterprise Server, they will all ship with
| the default, ooh, let's pick a catchy name, MicroSoft Internet Foundry, so
| default MSIE and MSIF neatly complementing each other.
|
| By 2011 we can have MS in Court facing anti trust charges, but as with MSIE
| by then the damage will be done, and maybe Mitchell Baker will be doing a
| Marc Andressen and praising MS for embracing a Open Source code and making
| the net a better place.
|
| To be fair, if MS had not embraced and extended the Berkeley TCP/IP stack the
| internet as we know it today would be a very different place, and that
| includes the Apache web server as we know it today.
|
| In the meantime...
|
| All your Web 2.0 are belong to us.
|
| signed, MicroSoft.

Symantec Finds Flaws In Vista's Network Stack
,----[ Quote ]
| Researchers with Symantec's advanced threat team poked through
| Vista's new network stack in several recent builds of the
| still-under-construction operating system, and found several bugs
| -- some of which have been fixed, including a few in Monday's
| release -- as well as broader evidence that the rewrite of the
| networking code could easily lead to problems.
|
| [...]
|
| Among Newsham's and Hoagland's conclusions: "The amount of new
| code present in Windows Vista provides many opportunities for
| new defects."
|
| "It's true that some of the things we found were 'low-hanging
| fruit,' and that some are getting fixed in later builds,"
| said Friedrichs. "But that begs the question of what else
| is in there?"
