But original article I posted didn't contain a lot of fud about bittorrent, just some ideas about how Microsoft thinks it can improve upon the protocol. I think maybe the fud came later.

BitTorrent type technology sounds like a winner for content distribution. Can be used to distribute legal content just as well as illicit content or free software. Just another example of Microsoft turning the ideas of others into mediocre products. Microsoft wants to kneecap the competition? Of course they do. So what else is new? RM |

Actually if you read the Dvorak article, it seems to imply that soon after making the statement about improving Bittorrent, some stories got released from Microsoft about how Bittorrent infests you with spyware. That's where the FUD allegations come from. Just another example of Microsoft turning the ideas of others into mediocre products. Microsoft wants to kneecap the competition? Of course they do. So what else is new? Yeah, well, it's Microsoft's perogative to something like that especially since the Bittorrent protocol is in the Open Source. It's available for Microsoft to view and re-implement in their own way. Yousuf Khan |
