Why Microsoft caved in on copy protection | |

What does Microsoft have in common with Britney Spears? Not much, except both can sing a song called, "Oops!... I did it again." In Microsoft's case, that means the company screwed up--again--on a consumer-rights issue. And now it's retreated--again. You would have thought that the Redmondians would have learned their lesson after Hailstorm (aka My Services) crashed and burned. As you may recall, that initiative was supposed to facilitate e-commerce and Web applications. But we haven't heard much about Hailstorm ever since people found out it would require them to hand over all their personal information (such as passwords and credit card numbers) to Microsoft for (supposedly) safe storage. | ||
