Rudedog- re: Why did you think they were shut down? Microsoft was somewhere in-between: the company said its servers had no trouble handling the email load, but it switched off outgoing email because it didn't want to spread the virus further. news.com I think the part about the GUID is all BS. Uniqueness right now is based on the BIOS ID of a LAN Adapter with a market value of $5. which can be easily dumped. The real intention of GUID is to work in conjunction with Intel's P-III chip ID. It's going to be harder to dump a $500 CPU. The whole ID/Security matter is going to end up in hearings in the hallowed halls of Congress with Legislation following. I think by now Corporate management is begining to question the risks involved with their IT managers choices. Harvey P.S. I was amused that this all began with a post to alt.sex. I thought all softies just used the Internet to check their stock prices. Must be some natural instinct that can't be erased even working in Redmond. Good design God.
