Microsoft alters XP to please DOJ (Reuters)
Microsoft is throwing a bone to the U.S. government -- that bone is a change to Windows XP that will better spotlight a button that users may click to remove Internet Explorer and use other browsers. MS says it's doing this to keep the Justice Department happy, although critics say the change is insignificant and won't do anything to foster competition.

![]()
Penn State University -- home of the Nittany Lions and peer-to-peer fears. School provost Rodney Erickson this week sent an e-mail to more than 110,000 students, faculty and staff, warning them that downloading copyrighted stuff from the Internet could mean a trip out of the ivory tower and into the cement-floored jail cell. Erickson sent a similar e-mail three years ago, when Napster was king of the file-sharing world.
