10/17 The software technology, according to industry sources, would
essentially act as a downloader, repeatedly requesting the same file
and downloading it very slowly, essentially preventing others from
accessing the file. While stopping short of a full denial-of-service
attack, the method could substantially clog the target computer's
Internet connection.

\_ yeah, like this tactic won't be effectively nullified in the
next release of whichever file-sharing program is being targetted,
or at worst the release after the next
\_ Sounds like a job for caching proxy servers.
\_ GO CLICKARRAY!

"The integration of Passport into XP seems to be pointless," said
Child, a high school student from Atherton, Calif. "I don't know why
Passport can't just stay in Web sites where it belongs. The only
explanation is that Microsoft wants to begin to integrate Passport
into applications as well."
\_ Well, duh. Even Microsoft has said this - look at .NET
and the new Messager in XP.
\_ Which is why it'll be more than just an operating
system. It'll be a new eXPerience!
\_ Yeah, eXPerience the pain when some virus writer
discovers a security hole. |

The processor, called Jaguar, uses features more often found in servers, but will be used to power a new generation of broadband wireless devices that use third generation (3G) mobile networks. Chips based on existing ARM designs already power most popular handheld devices. Microsoft said last month that its new handheld operating system would only support Intel's StrongARM SA-1110 processors, which were already used by Compaq's popular iPaq line. Microsoft rival Palm is also moving its operating system across to chips based on ARM processors. ARM has closed "its first couple of deals" with manufacturers including chip maker STMicroelectronics. Jaguar will use super-scalar techniques, but will have to do so without greatly increasing power consumption or breaking the space constraints of wireless devices. Widening the data path and address space to 64 bits, while also using super-scalar cores that execute more than one instruction every cycle, are ways in which core processor speed can be increased. Applications such as video streaming, voice recognition and global positioning are likely to be those that benefit most from 64-bit power on handheld devices. The company has said it could recruit partners to develop its next chip architectures, in the same way that Intel recruited Hewlett-Packard for its IA-64 64-bit design.
