New That's basically the idea
Now, being Microsoft, they will probably not take HTTP out of IIS (or IE) but add all sorts of bells and whistles to this new protocol to do things they either can't do or can't be bothered doing via HTTP.

Right. Think Kerberos. Okay that one seems to have since become moot, but add the DMCA and -- if/when it passes -- the SSSCA and the tweaks they add to HTTP "for security"[1] will be legally unavoidable.

[1] It would be too obvious to point out that there already is a more secure protocol, called (surprisingly) HTTPS, and that any changes Microsoft might make to HTTP should then be called HTTPMS, but that's just a marketing issue.

New It just sounds stupid
They only thing that TCP/IP needs is that IPV6 standard so that every Coke Machine has an IP address and people can assign IP addresses to their Digital Toaster and other consumer devices. :) Otherwise I don't really see a need for a replacement for TCP/IP? Is Microsoft going to bring back NetBeui? Or will it be a Mutant version of TCP/IP named MS-TCP/IP?

HTTP is just plain fine, don't f*uck with it. If you don't like it, there is always [link|http;//www.freenet.org|FreeNet]!

... or would that belong in the Meta-Index..
... or The List of Lists...
... or The Index of Indices....
... which Cannot be placed In The Library.....!
... (but only in the Meta-Library???)
