If it were me I'd refuse to be part of any trial of technology that is
vendor dependent. I'd request that they support only open standards
available to all platforms. It may use VoIP but Microsoft Passport
indeed! You'd have to have rocks in your head to rely on Microsoft
providing any security for anything.
Looks like Telstra jumping further into bed with M$ so that M$ can
control more of the universe.

Hi all,
I've been selected to take part in a voice over internet trial. I'd
like to

up for
Macs. (They rarely do). Also, I found this in the fine print
3 Technology
3.1 You must have Internet access, have a valid Microsoft Passport,
have
installed the latest version of Microsoft Messenger either by loading
Microsoft XP onto your computer or downloading the Messenger Session
Initiated
Protocol Client software from the Microsoft download site. It is
available for
Windows 95, 98, NT4, 2000 and ME.
But why would they have sent this to me, being registered as a Mac user.
Is there another way? I would like to participate.
