Can a user really tell if her/he is downloading the true windows XP upgrade package via a BitTorrent. The only way this could be resolved is the same way web certificates are authenticated. You have to have a third party (in the case of certificates, verisign) authenticating your download. Microsoft could kick in with support bit for torrents which is the most efficient way to distribute a file through the net. But mark my words, Microsoft is not going to support bit Torrent for the simple reason it is a freely available technology, something that Microsoft
is not. Microsoft exist out of the premise that
if you want good technology, you have to pay for
it.

Just read

that the site www.celiberal.com published a black list of actors in Hollywood (anit-war) but the site seems to be offline.
Weird.
