Redmond's lawyers will claim the trial judge's anti-Microsoft comments jaded his judgement. MS will also ask the federal appeals court to put the case on ice until the High Court decides this fall whether to hear it. A delay in the case may help get XP out on time (October 25th).

[1] "Sources: Microsoft speeds up Win XP release" CNET news is reporting that Microsoft will allow PC makers to ship Windows XP up to one month early - that means the new OS could be up and operating by September 25th. The move could serve as an adrenalin shot for the economy as well as help Microsoft outrun any legal efforts to block XP's release.

The company plans to make a number of XP-related products and services available via download. Among those items? A new version of Windows Messenger and the addition of .Net Alerts.

[3] "Code Red II worms its way deeper into Internet" The worms have no respect for the wallet. Code Red and Code Red II have done about $2 billion in damage -- and that figure is growing. Security experts say the worms are especially nasty because even with the patch applied and the Trojan (horse) back door removed, it's hard to tell what happened to the system while it was open. SOURCE: Reuters http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/news/tech/077811.htm [4] "Netcraft: IIS presence increased in July" Code Red may give a black eye to Microsoft's software, but some recent data show Redmond's Web servers taking bigger chunks of the market share pie. The survey (done by Netcraft) came before the Code Red outbreak. The question is: Can Microsoft maintain the gains in the worms' wake?

Not very much. That's the naked truth from a new AOL-commissioned report. U.K. Web users were asked to identify their most common online attire. By far, most folks wore T-shirts and jeans, but come on... who really cares about them? Approximately 27% of West Country women say they surf in nothing but lingerie, while 8% of Yorkshire Internet users wear nothing at all.
