To be honest, Symantec really won't get far in my honest opinion... it's far too close to be halted... but we'll have to wait and see.

There's a long history of these: Java, Stacker, ..

it was on nbc's business news this morning at 430 so it must be pretty big news. The quote they used "Symantec is suing Microsoft in hopes of further delaying the release of windows Vista." Would this delay the release of windows Vista Beta 2 and Subsequent releases or just the RTM and Final? "Mike Williams" wrote in message

This is what, a look and feel case? Symantec have patented sucking hard enough to pull a melon through a straw and are worried that Vista might infringe?

If it goes through, it could greatly affect the release of Longhorn Server, not Vista, my understanding is, the storage technology was licensed from Symantec in 1996 and used in Windows 2000 Server and Server 2003. Its supposed to be used in Longhorn Server also, what I can't understand is how is it being used in an abusive way against Symantec when the technology is still be licensed from them it seems. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "michael e dziatkowicz" wrote in message

they didn't go into detail. I just figured it was about the fact that vista was including security in it and norton was worried it would hurt it's anti-virus and security software business. Although I noticed that Microsoft actually recommends Norton Anti-Virus when you go through the security setup procedure in Vista. "Andre Da Costa [Extended64]" wrote in message

No, its about a storage technology licensed from Symantec in 1996 (actually from Veritas, a Company Symantec recently purchased), nothing to do with security. Well, it does not specifically recommend Norton AV, a notification shows up in the notification area recommending you install a AntiVirus utility immediately since you might be at risk. :) -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "michael e dziatkowicz" wrote in message

Andre:
Another reason could be that a year after x64 was released Symantec components still aren't compatible with or function with x64. Which is a requirement when Vista is released.

"Which is a requirement when Vista is released." Exactly what is a requirement? Symantec being compatible with Vista? Says who?

This has been the case with new releases of Windows, older versions of Norton will either require updates or newer version of the product that specifically has support for that release of Windows. Symantec has stated users can expect a new version of Norton that will support Windows Vista 30 days after Vista's release. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta
