Must Strip Windows Down
12/24/2004 12:32 PMThe Wall Street Journal is reporting that: "A European judge will rule
that Microsoft must comply with antitrust orders to sell a
stripped-down version of Windows and to share more of its secret
computer codes, people close to the matter said.
Microsoft Agrees With EU On Name For New
Windows XP
Microsoft Agrees With EU On Name For New
Windows XP
03/28/2005 04:42 PMEmbattled software giant Microsoft has today announced a resolution
with the European Union on the name of a new copy of Windows XP. After
being found guilty by a court in 2004 of breaking EU monopoly law, the
company is being forced to sell a stripped down version of Windows XP
without Media player components.
Microsoft will sell the stripped down version of Windows XP in Europe
as "Windows XP Home Edition N". Previous announcements had
suggested names such as "Windows XP reduced Media Edition",
yet these proved unpopular with the EU regulators who believed the
name would be unattractive to consumers. Microsoft’s most recent
decision represents a small victory for the EU who has had difficultly
enforcing its judgments on the company.
Microsoft has yet to comply with another part of the EU judgment which
stipulates that the company must open up access to server protocols.
Negotiations have stumbled over terms of the license which was
prohibitive to open source software makers. Microsoft are also in
disagreement with EU over plans to appoint a trustee to monitor
Microsoft's compliance, or lack there of. If Microsoft fails to comply
with the Commission’s decisions, they could face fines of up to $5
million per day.
Horacio Gutierrez, a lawyer for Microsoft, told Reuters that the
company has "some misgivings about the chosen name, as we fear it
may cause confusion for consumers about the product, but we will adopt
the Commission's name in order to move forward and accelerate the pace
of the implementation process." Gutierrez said the new version
would be available to European consumers within a "matter of
weeks".
Microsoft faced a similar situation with the US DoJ in the late
nineties. However, with deep pockets and large settlements the
company's rivals are less vocal and of a smaller number. The problem
Microsoft faces with the EU is that it is unable to "bargain its
way out of settlement", as some critics have suggested the
company did in the USA. With no clout over the European Commission,
the company faces a serious problem: it might just have to comply.

Microsoft agrees to community service,

teen
03/30/2005 07:25 AMFirst, it was a federal judge who took pity on Jeffrey Lee Parson.
Now, it's Microsoft Corp.
The 19-year-old from Hopkins, Minn., won't have to pay the $500,000 in
restitution he owes the company for releasing a version of the Blaster
Internet worm that attacked Microsoft's Web site in the summer of
2003. Instead, the company said in court documents filed late Tuesday,
he can work it off: 225 hours of community service that won't involve
computers. U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman still must sign the
agreement.
Pechman sentenced Parson in January to a year and a half in prison -
half the time prosecutors had asked for - followed by 100 hours of
community service and three years of supervised release. The judge
blamed his parents for not taking more of an interest in his life.
The parties earlier stipulated that the restitution owed was
$500,000.

(v 2)
05/07/2004 01:56 AMWindows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), currently a Release Candidate in Beta
testing, includes significant enhancements to the Windows Firewall
component, previously known as the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF).
Windows Firewall is a stateful host-based firewall that discards
unsolicited incoming traffic, providing a level of protection for
computers against malicious users or programs. To provide better
protection for computers connected to any kind of network (such as the
Internet, a home network, or an organization network), Windows XP SP2
enables Windows Firewall on all network connections by default. This
new behavior can impair some types of communications. This article
describes how to deploy the appropriate configuration settings for
Windows Firewall on an organization network so that it is enabled and
providing protection, and so that communications are not impaired.

11/04/2003 10:55 AMMicrosoft Corp. today announced public availability of Windows®
Rights Management Services (RMS), information protection technology
for Windows Server (TM) 2003 that helps enterprises and organizations
safeguard their sensitive digital information from unauthorized use.
RMS allows information workers to distribute information within their
organizations and define how and under what circumstances it can be
used, such as when it expires and who can open, modify, print and
forward it. The ability to express and enforce document-level
protection will allow organizations to internally share information
more broadly, with less risk of inadvertent or intentional misuse.

07/12/2004 09:23 AMToday at its Worldwide Partner Conference, Microsoft Corp. introduced
Windows® Marketplace, an upcoming shopping and downloading site that
will provide customers with one-stop access to software, hardware and
peripherals that work with the Windows platform. This new offering
provides a cost-effective way for participating partners to work with
Microsoft and CNET Networks to gain exposure to millions of potential
customers through online shopping and electronic software distribution
-- all in one place. Windows Marketplace also will make it easy for
customers to navigate, find, try and buy thousands of compelling
products to meet their needs and enhance their Windows computing
experience. Windows Marketplace is scheduled to launch to end-user
customers in the United States this fall, but Microsoft is giving
partners an early opportunity to get their products into the
Marketplace before it becomes available publicly.
