- 1. WELCOME
-
- Greetings WinFile Update Subscribers!
-
- Another week, another batch of unconfirmed Microsoft rumors.
-
- According to industry insiders, Microsoft will change its naming
- pattern for Windows and Office products to to "XP"--a move that
- could signal the end of the longstanding Windows 9x and Office 2000
- series. Microsoft also plans to integrate its next Web browser
- release, Internet Explorer 6, more closely with its network of Web
- sites such as MSN.com and Hotmail.com. Meanwhile, this week's
- shareware updates include many handy utilities and cool Windows
- tweaking tools, including 12Ghosts Pro and Flexy. Oh, and be sure
- to check out the hundreds of other new software titles added this
- week at CNET WinFiles.com!

-
- (1) Windows software by any other name?
-
- What's in a name? A lot of confusion, at least for Microsoft.
- With its next-generation Windows and Office products,
- Microsoft is expected to adopt a new and untried naming
- convention, according to sources. The company is expected to
- announce the change this week. The WinInfo Windows enthusiast
- Web site is reporting that Microsoft is planning to name
- Office 10, the next version of Office for Windows, "Office
- XP." Other independent sources claiming familiarity with
- Microsoft's Office plans said they also had heard that
- Microsoft has decided to use the Office XP name for Office 10.
- But one source close to the company said that Microsoft will
- not re-brand the individual products comprising the Office 10
- suite with the XP moniker. Word 2002, Excel 2002, PowerPoint
- 2002 and other individual applications will continue to use
- Microsoft's year-based naming conventions, the source said. A
- representative of Microsoft's Office team declined to comment
- on the Office XP name. In a related move, according to
- WinInfo, Microsoft also is planning to designate the Whistler
- Windows 2000 successor as "Windows XP." The Personal and
- Professional desktop versions of Whistler are expected to ship
- this year, with server versions to follow by several months. A
- representative of the Windows team did not respond by press
- time to a request for comment on the Windows XP rumor.

-
- (2) Microsoft takes a page from Linux playbook
-
- Contrary to popular myth, Microsoft doesn't hate everything
- about open source. While Microsoft executives publicly
- vacillate between declaring Linux either the most hyped
- operating system or the biggest threat to Windows, in reality,
- the company has learned some powerful lessons from its open-
- source competitors. In fact, in an unprecedented move, during
- the past six months Microsoft has made available to "hundreds"
- of its larger customers copies of its closely guarded Windows
- source code, said Doug Miller, group product manager with
- Microsoft's Windows .Net server marketing group. "Our goal is
- to make this (source code) available to many hundreds of
- customers," Miller said during an interview at the LinuxWorld
- Conference and Expo trade show in New York this week. Source
- code is the set of underlying programming instructions that
- comprise an operating system. In general, open source refers
- to software such as the Linux operating system that allows
- programs to be modified by consumers. By contrast, Microsoft
- has traditionally retained tight control over the Windows
- source code, which company executives have called Microsoft's
- "crown jewels." Microsoft has licensed elements of the Windows
- source code to less than 100 software and hardware developers
- working closely with the software giant on evolving the
- operating system, according to sources close to Microsoft. The
- company also has licensed the Windows source code to
- universities and government bodies under restrictive terms
- that allow them to work with the code but not make changes to
- it. While Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has suggested over the
- past two years that the company is interested in making the
- Windows source code more freely available, there has been
- little evidence that Microsoft actually is interested in doing
- so--until now.

-
- (3) Microsoft's IE 6 test version leaked online
-
- Microsoft is investigating a leak of its upcoming Internet
- Explorer 6 browser, which renegade software sites have posted
- to the Web. A "beta," or test version of IE 6, Microsoft's
- browser-in-progress, is meant to be in the hands of a few
- testers who have signed nondisclosure agreements. But the
- browser has been posted on The-Ctrl-Alt-Del.com and
- FileClicks, software enthusiast sites with reviews and
- downloads. Those sites became inaccessible shortly after CNET
- News.com posted news of them last Monday afternoon. The-Ctrl-
- Alt-Del.com said it had pulled the files when it learned that
- Microsoft was investigating the leak, and that its hosting
- provider simultaneously pulled the site because of the volume
- of traffic. FileClicks could not immediately be reached for
- comment. Microsoft said earlier Monday that it was
- investigating the leak and that it would try to have the
- software removed from the sites. "There was a (test version)
- that was sent to beta testers in November under (nondisclosure
- agreements), and this is obviously a breach of that in some
- respect," a company representative said. "We will look into
- it." November's sneak peek was an attempt to solicit feedback
- from selected software developers. The company has yet to
- schedule a public beta. Many of the new features in the leaked
- beta, according to screen shots posted by The-Ctrl-Alt-Del.com
- and an interview with its Webmaster, indicate that Microsoft
- is moving more aggressively to tie its browser to its other
- Web software and Web sites, a practice for which it criticized
- Netscape when that company tightened integration between its
- browser and Web portal. For example, the IE 6 beta includes a
- new, left-hand menu bar--akin to the one that Netscape
- introduced with its latest browser, Netscape 6--that includes
- a series of icons linking to Microsoft media software and
- properties.

-
- (4) Trademark dispute may delay Xbox debut
-
- Microsoft may be forced to delay the introduction of its Xbox
- game console because of a trademark dispute over the Xbox
- brand with a small Florida company, according to published
- reports. Xbox Technologies, a holding company of software
- businesses, may take Microsoft to court because it said it had
- the first claim on the Xbox brand, the Financial Times
- reported on its FT.com Web site. Xbox Technologies, based in
- Coconut Grove, Fla., filed the first of 47 current
- applications for the Xbox brand with the U.S. Patent and
- Trademark Office in March 1999, FT.com said. Microsoft filed
- its first application for the Xbox brand seven months later,
- FT.com reported. The company refused Xbox Technologies' offer
- to buy out its claim on the brand name, John Van Leeuwen, an
- executive of Xbox Technologies, told FT.com. Van Leeuwen
- wouldn't say if Xbox Technologies would sell the brand name.
- While Microsoft may release its game console without resolving
- the dispute, that may leave the company open to legal action
- by Xbox Technologies, FT.com reported. Microsoft, which hired
- 150 developers to produce games for Xbox, refused to comment
- on ongoing talks with Xbox Technologies, FT.com said. The
- Redmond, Wash.-based company will spend $500 million to
- introduce Xbox, its first major hardware product that will
- compete with Sony Corp.'s PlayStation2, FT.com said.

-
- (5) Disney to shutter Go.com portal
-
- Walt Disney said Monday that it will discontinue operations of
- its troubled Go.com Web portal, becoming the latest big media
- company to fold its Internet efforts back into core TV
- businesses. Go.com's entire work force, about 400 employees,
- has been laid off with the closure, said Disney spokeswoman
- Susan Murdy. The layoffs will shut down the portal's
- Sunnyvale, Calif., office, where the majority of its employees
- were based. The laid-off employees were given severance
- packages that included 60 calendar days of pay and benefits,
- according to one source. In addition, Infoseek, a search
- engine in which Disney acquired a controlling interest in
- 1998, will likely disappear if the company can sell its
- technology to a third party, Murdy said. The company may also
- sell the site's traffic, giving the rights to redirect people
- who visit Infoseek to another Web site, she added. Disney's
- decision follows similar moves by other big media companies.
- Creating hub Web sites to vault people to other content sites
- may be an ill-fated strategy, analysts say, adding that Web
- users, like TV viewers, go to brands they trust.

- 6. BUGS AND FIXES
-
- Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 Update: Web Client Security
-
- The Web Client Security Update for Office 2000 protects you
- from a vulnerability in Office 2000 that can allow login
- information to be sent over the Internet. Malicious Web site
- operators could deceive users into browsing to a Web page or
- server that captures login information without permission or
- verification of credentials from the user. This update
- prevents user credentials from being sent unless users grant
- express permission consistent with their browser settings. To
- use the Web Client Security Update, you must have installed
- Office 2000 Service Release 1a (SR-1a). You also need to have
