Most analysts agree that Domino is still better for building applications, and security in Notes is far tighter than in Outlook, but Exchange still has enough perks to keep business humming.

The virus could be used to download and store other malicious files, including the kinds used in distributed denial-of-service attacks. The "W32-Leave.worm" looks for and latches onto computers running the "SubSeven" Trojan. SOURCE: Newsbytes http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/167244.html [3] ".Net taking shape, but developers still wary" The smoke may have lifted from TechEd, but developers and analysts still think this whole .Net thing is a little foggy. Judging from post-conference reactions, Redmond needs to prove that the forthcoming Web services platform is stable, reliable and ready to do business. One analyst said MS is doing more "nebulous branding" than talking about actual technology.

The server is now number three behind Oracle and IBM in the database domain and doesn't inspire the eye-rolling of IT managers it used to inspire. SQL Server is working for some of the biggest companies on the Web.

What used to be the domain of crooked waiters with handheld scanners has rapidly transformed into high-tech thievery. These days crooks are placing computer chips inside point-of-sale credit card terminals that have the ability to dial out and send the stolen credit card numbers to the thief's computer. A company called Hypercom discovered the bugs and issued a warning last week. Naturally, the response from industry heavyweights like Visa was lukewarm. Until they see the chips as "prevalent" inside POS terminals, Visa is publicly shrugging its shoulders at the technique.
