Eric,
Please read the 2 following links, then answer 2 simple questions :
- Is Palladium (TCP/MS) a real/serious threat?
Lets not forget that M$ has been passing all TCP/IP traffic through a tunnel
in port 139 for years now. Lets not forget Appletalk. Lets not forget
Netware. Open standards survive... proprietary standards get doomed to
antiquity.
- Do we have to be afraid of it?
Do we have to be afraid of anything? What was that Frank Herbert line?
"Fear is the mind killer. I will face my fear and permit it to pass over me and
through me..." Personally, I'm not worried.
