- For computer security experts, 2003 started with the Slammer Internet worm and went downhill from there. The year, which included four major worm and virus outbreaks just in August, has been labeled the "year of the worm" and "the worst year ever" by more than one computer security expert. All that activity meant good news for antivirus software companies, such as Symantec. It was bad news for organizations of all kinds, which expended precious resources disinfecting everything from desktop workstations, to airline reservation systems and automated teller machine (ATM) networks that were hobbled by virus outbreaks. |

- Microsoft agreed Wednesday to pay Imagexpo $60 million to settle a case involving disputed technology used in the Redmond, Wash., giant's NetMeeting product. A jury trial last month determined the Redmond, Wash., software giant used a technique for viewing and editing pre-press images in NetMeeting that was patented by Imagexpo and was liable for $62.5 million in damages. |

- I'm not sure what this means, but Microsoft is dumping Intel and switching processors in its next-generation Xbox. Apparently, Microsoft wanted to get in on the action, although most think the company is simply picking the PowerPC platform. This means the end of people turning hacked Xboxes into cheap Linux computers — something Microsoft detests. Now we can turn them into cheap Macs, I guess! |

- Legal experts say the most recent lawsuit filed against Microsoft indicates that the software giant's legal troubles are not necessarily over despite its accommodation with the Bush administration and its settlement of several other suits. The $1 billion lawsuit filed late Thursday by RealNetworks, which makes software for playing audio and video over the Internet, cites new evidence suggesting that Microsoft's business practices have remained unchanged after its court battle with the U.S. government. |

- Even giants have problems--and gigantic software maker Microsoft has at least 10 of them. |

- Slashdot | Stop Christmas-Gift PCs From Feeding Worms. An Anonymous Reader writes "If you recently set up a new PC with Windows XP, or if you had the pleasure to do a 'reinstall from scratch,' you probably found that many XP systems as they are shipped today are not patched against common issues like Blaster. Given that these worms are still going strong, it doesn't take long for a new system to be infected. In particular, if you have to connect it to the Internet to download all the patches. Well, help is in sight. |
