Microsoft is a software company and I'd think any other software company, or independent developer, competing with Microsoft wouldn't want them or their 'agents' poking around their systems. ----- Steve

Currently working on SEVIS, the new INN requirements that will (supposedly, if they get it working) track foreign students here. (They say, of course, everything will be working perfectly by the time the January 30 deadline. But then they have another update due next month. As if most software companies could make changes in time to meet the January 30 deadline.) (I'm on the job so I'm sure we can. I'll make sure of that. :) But you give out personal information about students, you're in trouble (if they find out and if they have the smarts to sue.) Displaying the social security number in many cases is verbotten. Even the daggone birth date can be bad; identity theft and all that.
