Customer called a few minutes ago asking if she should "Enable FIPS" on her
Windows 7 net book.

 

HUH?

 

So I pull out one of our net books, go to Manage Wireless Connections, then
view the connections properties then Advanced (Microsoft buries
everything..)  and there is a checkbox for Enabling Federal Information
Processing Standards (FIPS).  

 

Dunno!  I tell her it's not a big deal, just leave it.  I'm not into the
FIPS, even the acronym sounds stupid.  I've read up on it a bit here the
past few minutes, what's the point of all this FIPS?  

 

Is FIPS for DIPS?
