SAN FRANCISCO - A little-noticed appellate court ruling against Borders
Group Inc. sets a precedent that could enable California to force some major
Internet retailers to start paying state sales tax for books, music and
other goods sold online to state residents, analysts said Monday.

OTTAWA, Canada, June 14, 2005 - AssetMetrix, the leading provider of
on-demand business intelligence for IT, today announced the findings of the
most recent report from its research division, AssetMetrix Research Labs.
The report findings indicate Microsoft Windows 2000 remains a widely
deployed operating system in corporate IT environments, losing only four
percentage points in popularity from 52% in Q4-2003 to 48% in Q1-2005, while
Windows XP rose in popularity from 6.6% to 38%. Mainstream support for
Windows 2000 is set to expire on June 30, 2005.

Use of Microsoft Windows XP has grown inside corporations, but a new study
shows that nearly half of business PC's are still running the older Windows
2000.
The study, released Tuesday by AssetMetrix underscores a recurring problem
for Microsoft: While the company spends billions of dollars developing new
versions of Windows and its Office desktop software, many customers are slow
to give up older versions of software that's paid for and works just fine.

Today is the one-year anniversary of my interview with NewScientist magazine
on what, at the time, was the highly controversial subject of
"countermeasures" technologies. The interview was one of many I did with
Symbiot in response to the March 2004 release of the company's iSIMS
(intelligent Security Infrastructure Management Software) technology.

There is a good online book available for reverse engineering software:

Abstract
This book is an attempt to provide an introduction to reverse engineering
software under both Linux and Microsoft Windows©. Since reverse engineering
is under legal fire, the authors figure the best response is to make the
knowledge widespread. The idea is that since discussing specific reverse
engineering feats is now illegal in many cases, we should then discuss
general approaches, so that it is within every motivated user's ability to
obtain information locked inside the black box. Furthermore,
interoperability issues with closed-source proprietary systems are just
plain annoying, and something needs to be done to educate more open source
developers as to how to implement this functionality in their software.
