The result could mean corporate end users will be able to pick and choose from the Windows applications that the company plans to integrate with future versions of the operating system. SOURCE: ComputerWorld http://www.idg.net/ic_643956_1794_9-10000.html [2] "Oracle software vulnerability exposed" If you felt a draft in Oracle's 8i database program, here's why: There's a risky security hole that could "hand over the keys" of the software to an outside attacker. On a Windows computer, the vulnerability could let an attacker take over an entire system. Oracle has acknowledged the problem, fixed it in the newest 9i version of its software and issued a patch for the earlier releases.

"Current" means running either Windows 2000 or having an agreement to purchase Windows XP. Companies must also be using Office XP. In this opinionated yet informative piece, Coursey discusses the who, what, why, when and how of this massively overhauled MS licensing program.

Wish there were such a thing as a full-body Altoid for that co-worker whose BO is strong enough to knock over a man and kill a woman? Maybe one day, instead of slipping a bar of soap or some deodorant into his or her mailbox, you'll just have to buy the offending party some new clothes. Scientists are injecting bacteria into clothing fibers that eat human sweat and other proteins that cause body odor. Apparently one organism's stink is another organism's supper. The bacteria being injected into the fibers? E. coli! Don't worry, this is the lighter side of the sickening bacteria - scientists use a harmless strain to do the trick.
