--- Hey Kramer, you've been walking into to many doorjams. That's a pretty feisty reply, considering that the article you quote is dated TODAY and points out that Microsoft's support was "unexpected" and failed to support BTooth in recent operating systems. It's certainly an encouraging sign for BTooth fans the its prospects may be turning around, but I wouldn't want to depend on Bill Gates for anything. - Charles ================== Gates Opens Desktop to Bluetooth The global Bluetooth developer community received an unexpected fillip last week when Microsoft Corp chief architect and founder Bill Gates revealed that his Redmond, Washington-based company is finally ready to put its commercial muscle behind the short-range wireless interconnect standard. Although Microsoft is an established member of the IEEE Bluetooth special interest group (SIG), the company's failure to explicitly support Bluetooth in recent iterations of its desktop and embedded operating systems has led to speculation that it was internally debating an either/or position that was destined to come down in favor of the IEEE 802.11b WiFi WLAN standard.
