They're not "using it in their development shop", that's their standard development environment that they ship to all Windows CE, Pocket PC, SmartPhone, and XP Embedded developers (and include free with every copy of MSDN). If an entire branch of my OS development was centered around a particular technology, I'd want to make sure I owned both the technology and the developers who created it and will be maintaining/updating it in the future. This isn't an optional add-on that MS uses internally, it's a core component of their embedded OS effort that they push out to anyone who'll take it in an attempt to dissuade them from going with QNX, embedded Linux, VxWorks, etc etc. Peter. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
