Supercomm presentation by MSFT of their .NET windows XP strategy was very impressive. KILLER APP STUFF (=unlimited demand for a must have application) in my opinion. And it has Super wireless implications. From MSFT: microsoft.com From SI: To:rob v who wrote (100131) From: JohnG Thursday, Jun 7, 2001 10:56 AM View Replies (2) \| Respond to of 100153 Windows XP. I specifically asked if the communication features (instant messaging, 2) audio/vidio conferencing, 3) white board, 4) software collaboration, 5) turning upur computer operation over to your remote buddy) of XP would work with my personal ISP if my buddies and I put each other on our list. Answer was that it would work and that my screen would show that my buddies were on line even if they used a separate personal ISP. Apparently, there is some behind the scene negotiating among the various ISP's to establish who is on line. Further. there are features to allow you to indicate which net device you are on if you used XP on a home network (although it wasn't clear whether this feature was more targeted to business networks). Also, there is to be some code written to add a less rich version of these features to Windows 98.
