MICROSOFT RESPONDS TO PRIVACY ISSUE
Reacting to a controversy started when a programmer in Brookline, Mass.,
discovered Windows 98 generates a unique serial number that is implanted in
every electronic document and that can be used to trace the identify of its
author, Microsoft said it will create a software tool to allow customers to
remove the number, which was created to help support specialists diagnose
problems for customers who call with questions. Jason Catlett, who lobbies
on privacy issues, says, "This is going to be a cleanup job larger than the
Exxon Valdez oil spill. There are billions of tattooed documents out
there." (AP 8 Mar 99)
