Microsoft's entry into enterprise security has market leader Symantec gearing up for a fight -- but not necessarily doing more to attract Microsoft partners.

                    By now, the perils of securing online data with little more than user names and passwords should be well known. Monster.com learned that lesson late and the hard way, prompting this week's announcement that the Web jobs board will spend millions of dollars to improve its security.

                    Microsoft published almost no details earlier this week with its announcement that Windows Server 2008's release to manufacturing date had slipped.

                    A group of states led by California said in a court filing Thursday that ending oversight of Microsoft's business practices in November would not allow enough time to consider the antitrust implications of Windows Vista.

                    Microsoft announced on Thursday that it intends to buy Parlano, a Chicago-based company it has already worked closely with on enterprise communications software.

                    Although Microsoft didn't mention it in today's announcement about the upcoming release of Windows Vista SP1, the company confirmed today that one of the major changes will be to open up desktop search functionality to competition.

                    Windows XP's first service pack in nearly four years should be pushed out the door some time around mid-2008, according to Microsoft.

                    Windows Server 2008, Microsoft's delay-plagued next-generation server OS, is being delayed yet again.

                    If there's one feature in Windows Vista that's almost universally reviled, it's User Account Control, or UAC. But help may be on the way in the form of BeyondTrust Privilege Manager 3.5.

                    IBM, following the kickoff of its IBM  Federal SOA Institute in April, has announced a new certification and training  program.

                    A teenager in New Jersey has broken the lock that ties Apple's iPhone to AT&T's wireless network, freeing the most hyped cell phone ever for use on the networks of other carriers, including overseas ones.

                    Whether it involves choice or price, freedom isn't free. This is especially true in the realm of computer software licensing, where the question isn't if one has to pay for program use and development but rather how, to whom and when.
