Intel adds bolts for Microsoft's chains

Intel adds bolts for Microsoft's chains 06/05/2005 11:10 PM
Intel apparently has added "Microsoft-flavored" DRM to its Pentium D and 945 chipset. Hannibal at ArsTechnica guesses: From what I can tell, DTCP is essentially a protocol that sits on top of TCP/IP and provides DRM by ensuring that both endpoints in an IP connection are trusted before transmitted protected content. I imagine that Intel's DTCP support is some kind of hardware-level means of enabling the strict enforcement of this endpoint authentication in software. As to what specific form this enablement takes, only further digging on our part and more revelations from Intel will tell. This would, apparently, prevent unwanted...

Microsoft Making Encarta Into Wikicarta?
Not Quite

Microsoft Making Encarta Into Wikicarta?
Not Quite 04/18/2005 06:48 PM
Microsoft's Encarta encyclopedia project often seems to be forgotten in all of the various arguments over Wikipedia, but it appears that they're feeling a bit of the Wikipedia-induced heat. They're going to now make it easier for people to suggest changes to Encarta entries, if they feel they're wrong. Of course, those changes will still be reviewed by an editor, so it's not really wiki-like at all -- but that won't stop the press from making the connection. It's just that Encarta is making the "feedback" functionality a little more prominent and hoping that this allows them to catch some of the Wikipedia hype wave.

New Microsoft Exchange due out in 2006

New Microsoft Exchange due out in 2006 03/30/2005 05:19 PM
The next version of Microsoft's Exchange Server--software used to manage e-mail, contact lists and calendars--will arrive in 2006, according to a company executive.

Andy Lees, corporate vice president of marketing for Microsoft's server and tools business, revealed the ship date Tuesday. Previously, the Redmond, Wash.-based software company had said the software would arrive in 2006 or 2007. The software, currently called Exchange Server 12, will incorporate new features to handle voice mail and faxes. The current version of Exchange Server was released in 2003. It's a dominant program in the market, but it faces competition from products sold by IBM, Novell, Sun Microsystems and others.
