The patch is supposed to fix at least one bug that turned up after the development code went gold in August. The bug affects Internet Explorer versions 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0, and could give hackers the power to erase data. The patch presents a chance for MS to test its automatic update feature. http://www.entmag.com/breaknews.asp?ID=5062 Check out all the XP news, advice, tips and links you care to browse: http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/featuredTopic/0,290042,sid1_gci778142,00.html. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= OTHER HEADLINES The headlines below and others are available on our news page. >> Full Stories: http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/news MICROSOFT BOSS JUNKS WINDOWS 2000 | CRN Windows 2000 -- a disappointment? Steve Ballmer said last week that Win2k should have been Redmond's first end-to-end solution for businesses and consumers. But he admitted it "wasn't ready" to do so, and that it is reliable, but not terribly compatible. Ballmer added that anyone who has started their Windows 2000 deployment should stick with it, but anyone who hasn't should roll with XP. MICROSOFT GIVES SQL SERVER MORE XML FLUENCY | InfoWorld There wasn't an XP-like fuss about it, but Microsoft has updated its SQLXML Web release add-on for SQL Server 2000. SQLXML 2.0 packs support for XSD (XML Schema Definition), which should make data integration and interoperability a little easier. It also lets developers use Visual Studio.Net to weave XML features into SQL Server 2000, an important step for building Web services.

One of the most famous vehicles in history, the bus on which Rosa Parks refused to surrender her seat to a white man, has been sold over the 'Net. An unnamed "cultural institution" bid on and bought the bus for $492,000 and plans to preserve it. That's the kind of price you'd expect from a vehicle that offers history as standard equipment. Parks' refusal aboard the Montgomery, Ala. bus in 1955 helped put a movement in drive and carried her into history. >> CLICK: http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/news/reuters_wire/1599780l.htm ____________________________________________________________________ ::::::::::::::::::: SEARCHWIN2000 CONTACTS ::::::::::::::::::: MARILYN COHODAS, Site Editor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send me your original articles and best practices. ____________________________________________________________________ CHRISTINE POLEWARCZYK, Assistant Editor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send me your tips, White Papers, and favorite Web sites. ____________________________________________________________________ MARGARET ROUSE, Assistant Editor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send me your Ask the Expert questions or post them in our Discussion Forums for a quicker response. ____________________________________________________________________ ED PARRY, News Editor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send me your news, press releases and product announcements. ____________________________________________________________________ MIKE KELLY ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Contact me to sponsor this or any other TechTarget newsletter. ____________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ :::::::::::::::::::: ABOUT THIS NEWSLETTER ::::::::::::::::::::: Created by TechTarget (http://www.techtarget.com) TechTarget - The Most Targeted IT Media Copyright 2001, All Rights Reserved.
