From the Comdex show floor
Siegfried and Roy may be gone, as is the old Treasure Island show, but Comdex isn't.
After more than a two hour delay leaving SFO, due to weather and security breaches, I arrived in Vegas last night long after Bill Gates opened the show. I'm told I didn't miss much. On stage he introduced SmartScreen, an anti-spam technology that will be embedded into various Microsoft products and will be able to better recognize junk email. He also talked about new software created to improve network security, which will be available to beta customers in January.
Thirty minutes before Scott McNealy, president and CEO of Sun Microsystems, takes the stage, the press room is beginning to fill up. It is expected McNealy will discuss his Linux aspirations as well as its ongoing 64 bit Solaris activities. I'm off to the keynote now and will take my first perusal of the show floor looking for more security, storage and networking news. -- Scott Tyler Shafer, posted by Tom Sullivan.
