WindowsXP, there is a little debate going on between a security analyst and Microsoft. http://grc.com/dos/sockettome.htm Microsoft posted a response on their web site, on the security page. I don't know who is right in all this.

One of the ugliest things I see is their new licensing scheme. They make sure you are using it only on a specific machine by having its functionality based on hardware items on your system. This configuration has to be registered either by phone or by internet about a month after it is installed or everything stops working. If you change something big, like a Network Card or cpu chip, your system will not boot because it thinks you have installed it on a different machine. Anyone have options on the new XP ? -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Kevin Lange INET: kgel@ppoone.com -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Boivin, Patrice J INET: BoivinP@mar.dfo-mpo.gc.ca Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: ListGuru@fatcity.com (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
