The company yesterday laid out a score of LAN switching products, ranging from gear that supports Power over Ethernet to Gigabit Ethernet IP phones to 10 Gigabit modules. If you own a Catalyst, you should read this article. Cisco rolls out LAN tsunami <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/1130ciscolan.html?net> Microsoft finds new front in software piracy battle Microsoft has long found itself in courtrooms over various anti-trust allegations. But the company is now trying to take more of an offensive rather than defensive stance in court. CEO Steve Ballmer recently made veiled threats against Linux, and now Microsoft is cracking down on resellers that the company says are software pirates. <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/1201microfinds.html?net> See Scott Bradner's column for more on Ballmer's comments: <http://www.nwfusion.com/columnists/2004/112904bradner.html?n1> Q&A: Verizon weighs in on enterprise nets Verizon Enterprise Solutions Group President Eduardo Menasce talks to us about the company's Enterprise Advance initiative and its strategy looking ahead. <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/112904verizonqanda.html?net> HP to release Virus Throttler for Windows in 2005 HP is planning to build virus throttling technology into ProLiant servers and ProCurve switches starting in early 2005, an HP executive said Tuesday. <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/1130hptore.html?net> Today on Layer 8, where we dream of being the next Jeopardy champ: Following the Law of Gravity, what goes up must come down. All the rumors were true, and Ken Jennings' streak as Jeopardy champion came to end after 74 wins. We're moving on from the inevitable loss by looking at the rules to calling shotgun, Jerry Seinfeld's Dictionary of Terms and Phrases, and an MIT student's interesting compilation of Christmas music for your holiday listening, um, pleasure. <http://www.nwfusion.com/weblogs/layer8/?net> _______________________________________________________________ To contact: Jeff Caruso Jeff Caruso is managing editor of online news for Network World.
