<b>Bridging the gap between Liberty and Microsoft</b></a></font><br>
It appears that we are closer to a solution for single sign-on and identity management. But what if Microsoft chooses not to support  Liberty's specifications?

<font size="+1"><b>Microsoft stresses security for Exchange</b></a></font><br>
Microsoft is readying a new Exchange Server e-mail system, with improved security, a facelift for Outlook, and better support for cell phones and other handhelds. The upcoming version, the company's first major update of the product since releasing Exchange 2000 nearly two years ago, will by default <b>disable certain messaging features</b> to prevent hackers and virus makers from taking advantage of openings. While Microsoft's biggest nemesis in the e-mail and messaging market is <b>Lotus</b>, the company also competes against <b>Novell</b> and newcomer <b>Oracle</b>, which plans to release its own e-mail and messaging software later this year.
<b>IBM puts more bite in 'Shark'</b></a></font><br>
Can IBM's release of a new top-end "Shark" <b>enterprise storage system</b> boost the company's prospects in the depressed storage market? Big Blue has fixed many early Shark problems, improving everything from data transfer capabilities to cache size, and adding <b>RAID 10 support</b> and Eliza self-healing features. But IBM faces the still dominant <b>EMC</b>, which last week lured away Mark Lewis from HP to become its new CTO; and <b>Hitachi</b>, which  still boasts the technology edge. IBM's edge is its ability to bundle Shark sales with related server and service deals.
<font size="+1"><b>Report: Linux hack attacks on the rise</b></a></font><br>
Hackers are increasingly targeting Linux-based Web servers, while the number of successful attacks on <b>Windows</b> systems has decreased, according to a new report.  Linux server applications are often vulnerable to attack because of <b>mismanagement</b>, according to the study, which urges Linux system administrators to be more vigilant about patching known security bugs.
<font size="+1"><b>Frethem worm variant:  "Re: Your password!"</b></a></font><br>
An e-mail message that promises to reveal <b>secret information</b> with a password is a variant from the pesky Frethem worm family. Frethem.k (aka w32.frethem.k@mm) is a more robust version of Frethem.e, which uses its own SMTP engine to send e-mail using addresses obtained from infected systems. Mac and Linux users are not affected.

With the CLIE PEG-T665C, Sony took everything good about the PEG-T615C--including its terrific color screen and solid design--and added a faster processor and MP3 support to make quite an <b>attractive Palm OS PDA</b>. But with Pocket PCs now selling for less than this CLIE and a whole new Palm OS on the horizon, is this the right time to invest in the T665C?
<!--<font size="+1"><b>IT sees new profits in Old Glory</b></a></font><br>
Can CRM be tweaked to track terrorists? As the fight against <b>terrorism</b> heats up, the government turns to the tech industry to come up with tools to secure the country against attack. It's an opportunity for patriotism--and for profits. (Nearly $38 billion is slated for homeland security.) Software companies big and small are sending tens of thousands of proposals to
government agencies, some of which are so new they don't have the budget to hire people to evaluate them all.
