Redmond has criticized the security community's practice of fully disclosing the ins and outs of flaws -- MS says that basically arms hackers with information. http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,5099420,00.html?chkpt=zdhpnews01 FOR MORE INFORMATION: Are you sure about security?

NMRC is using Microsoft's own words -- last month the company said the security community bears blame for Internet insecurity because it basically gives the "combination" to cyber criminals. NMRC suggests "that everyone who is involved in security research and supports full disclosure, steps up research efforts and releases those issues that they have been sitting on." SOFTWARE GIANT FEARS IBM MORE THAN SUN | News: CRN Is Microsoft having nightmares about a Big Blue monster coming to get it? Microsoft's president says his company is more concerned about IBM than Sun when it comes to Web services. Why? Because, according to Rick Belluzzo, Sun is a hardware company. Nuff said. IBM, he says, has a "more comprehensive story" and a firm grip on the enterprise. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ADDITIONAL SEARCHWIN2000 NEWS HEADLINES All headlines below and others are available on our news page >> Full Stories: http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/news - Is XP performance worse than Win2k, or just the same? - Dell gets serious about NAS - Precise/W.

A "Star Trek" auction that would leave Spock gasping for logic, Sulu disoriented and Khan at a loss for wrath takes place that day. Boldly go to eBay to boldly spend your money. Trekkies will be totally tantalized by the treasures, which three creators of the 60s series are selling from their personal collections (attics). The only production model of the USS Enterprise will be on the block. So will Spock's bed, Kirk's tight shirt, phasers, a complete set of scripts and a blooper reel. The items will go for warp prices -- the ship model has an estimated value between $30,000 and $50,000.
