Headlines
Microsoft goes for the 'common' touch
[SearchWin2000.com]
To reduce customer angst over the complexity of its software, Microsoft has begun an initiative to engineer all of its products from a standard foundation. In an interview, an executive from the Windows Server group talked about what's behind the Common Engineering Criteria.

Microsoft prepares for mobile virus battle
[Silicon.com]
Microsoft plans to offer virus definition downloads for devices using the mobile version of its operating system. However, a Microsoft executive says mobile patching would be a backup security measure because the company's Smartphone OS has a built-in digital certification feature that is difficult to compromise.

MS recognizes on-the-job skills in certification
[Online Recruitment]
"Role-based" certification is more valuable to IT managers when hiring IT workers than purely knowledge-based certification, Microsoft acknowledges. That's why it is moving to give credit in the certification process to those who have real-world IT skills.

ASK THE EXPERTS: Problems installing Win XP
Dear James Michael Stewart:
I've got a problem with the installation of Win XP. I formatted my PC, and when I boot from the XP bootable CD, it begins gathering system info and asks me if I want to upgrade or install from scratch. Whichever I choose, it begins to work, reboots, text mode appears and then my monitor goes blank and the green light changes to amber. That's it, and I can't do a thing about it. (I had ME and tried to upgrade, then formatted the HD and the same thing happened). What can I do?

The Missing Link
The Missing Link: A tale of two surfs -- board rides waves, Web
[NewsFactor Network]
If you've ever dreamed of asking Jeeves while you're hanging ten, there's a surfboard in the U.K. for you. Some savvy surfer dudes there have created a mother of a board -- it has a laptop on board. A high-speed hotspot on the beach means the person riding the waves can ride the Web, too. It also means they can wipe out spam as they wipe out. This board brings up a question -- will Famous Amos start baking chocolate Pentium chip cookies? How about a special pole for phishing?
