obviously, you didn't do your research... I consider Microsoft, C|net, and KOMO (A Seattle ABC Affiliate) to be accurate news sources, or at least as accurate as you can get... did you even consider trying to google for news articles? -----Original Message----- From: sil Sent: Thu 2/12/2004 4:20 PM To: tlarholm@pivx.com Cc: ge@egotistical.reprehensible.net; bugtraq@securityfocus.com; full-disclosure@lists.netsys.com Subject: [Full-Disclosure] RE: W2K source "leaked"?

Let's see what Microsoft reports. Personally I believe you've answered you're curiousities, questions, ^*, for yourself, and for everyone else. While I don't intend on knocking 'Neowin', but I'm sure if something held substantially here, news agencies all over the world would have covered this situation forming. Outside of the posts on 'forums' there is nothing more than talk. Think digital Elvis sightings here: I've seen, I've heard, someone who knows someone who knows someone /$/*, ... I wrote a doc a while back on the dangers of forging information called Breaking Point, and although it was not PhD type material, this is an exact situation I described here. What's say I wanted to make money on the stock market, say shorting Microsoft. Get the picture? Unless some CONCRETE information comes of it, anyone who pays attention to these rumors are doing nothing more than adding fuel to the fire.
