Thanks Robert V. You heard this first here. This website, along with testwindowsxp.net, have just been purchased by Microsoft (March 19th) and are now officially up and running. "Welcome to the Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition test site. Click on the links to learn about the purpose of the site and how Internet users can test the latest features of the Windows XP operating system."
"The purpose of this project is to create a Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition Internet site that resembles a typical home user's networked environment, such as one or two machines connected to the Internet via a DSL bridge or cable modem. The goal is for us to configure and use this test environment as we would recommend to our customers, to ensure the site can provide a stable, secure presence on the Internet."
The Strange Paragraph:
"We expect the test site machines will be targets of attack, as are any other Internet sites today. In addition, although the web server is provided as a separate status and informational site about this test effort, it too may be a target of attack. We will be monitoring the traffic to the site machines as well as the integrity of each site's content." Share your thoughts below!
