YOu're saying that M$ doesn't have the right to innovate Kerberos, Russ?

No, that was decided here in April. Here's the post on that

Message 13424139

I was merely correcting Duke on a point of law, and wondering about his idea that unpublished security algorithms are secure.

The post from April states

One of the bad effects of the justice dept case is that Microsoft will now be criticized even for innovating. That's a shame. Yesterday, I heard a researcher from MIT complaining that his Kerberos security architecture has been extended by Microsoft to enable its programs to work better with their servers.

I actually don't see what the innovation is, or how it enables their programs to work better with their servers (other than by preventing them from working with other servers), but I guess I'm just a poor, deluded brainwashed Communist, like that guy from MIT. (I bet he's just jealous because everyone knows all the really smart people are in Redmond, and all the second rate ones work at MIT<g>)
