Onlookers are still debating whether Chairman Bill Gates and CEO Steve Ballmer will testify. They may not have to as Microsoft plans to ask the judge to dismiss the case, arguing the plaintiffs hadn't proved a broad remedy is needed. http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/newsItem/0,289139,sid1_gci817193,00.html HOW MICROSOFT CONQUERED WASHINGTON | News: Fortune Microsoft has joined the ranks of Philip Morris, Lockheed Martin and AT&T. That's right. Microsoft now has similar lobbying muscle in Washington that such financial giants have. Redmond has come a long way from the mid-90's when the company had just one lobbyist. http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/newsItem/0,289139,sid1_gci817189,00.html MICROSOFT RETHINKS OPEN SOURCE | News: The Associated Press Microsoft's Steve Ballmer once likened open source Linux to a cancer growing on intellectual property. Now, Redmond is softening its stance -- a little. Microsoft allows big customers and some technical experts access to the Windows source code, but it doesn't plan to open up the source code to a general audience anytime soon. http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/newsItem/0,289139,sid1_gci817184,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ADDITIONAL SEARCHWIN2000 NEWS HEADLINES Additional headlines are available on our news page >> FULL STORIES: http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/news _____________________________________________________________________ ******************* SPONSORED BY: Windows Decisions ***************** ONLY 4 WEEKS UNTIL OUR WINDOWS DECISIONS CONFERENCE!

A Pakistani computer programmer took it upon himself to design a version of the popular IRC online chat medium aimed directly at members of the Taliban. The program offers tools for the everyday zealot like canned "facts" about Jihad and the Taliban for posting in chat rooms. It even features a photo of American defector John Walker Lindh. Isn't this why someone invented computer viruses?
