And a little Microsoft news involving, what else, a new hole...

From eWeek:  Bugs, Exploits Dog XP SP2

What the...  ?  We're not even into this whole SP2 thing for a month, and already the hits are coming.  

Also from eWeek:  Is Microsoft's Pipeline Officially Unblocked?

The word has been that things have been slipping due to XP SP2.  Now that it's out, things should start flowing out of Redmond, right?  Mary Jo Foley doesn't think so...

From Guardian Unlimited:  Microsoft Pays Dear For Insults Through Ignorance

While this looks like a Microsoft bash, it really isn't in my book.  It's a realistic look at how American-centric companies can stumble badly when trying to sell globally, sometimes through very little actions that take on enormous culture significance elsewhere.

Gravatar Image1 - I think I missed that faux pas...

Gravatar Image2 - regarding the Guardian article, I seem to remember that ND6.0 went out the door with "Jewish" as a secondary calendar option instead of "Hebrew". It was fixed in 6.0.2

Hmm..Geography proficiency as a business control..wait it already is..i will blog about it later...
