I don't think so--valiant effort, though!

This is one where the multiple uses of an acronym bites.

You're citing WPA as Windows Product Activation, whereas I'm guessing that
the O.P. meant WiFi Protected Access.

This isn't easy information to find. Near as I can tell, this press report
is probably the correct information:

http://www.computerweekly.com/Article125608.htm

It indicates SP1 for Windows Server 2003 will include server-side services
to implement this.

There are a number of pieces to this puzzle--client OS, client nic drivers,
access points, and the server OS must all provide bits of the
implementation.

Hi Bill,

At least it was an effort <g>

The mutiple use of acronyms bite - quite well.

Initially, I was just checking out your TinyURL, 'cause I don't like those
much--especially in security-related forums.

Then I was trying to figure out where WPA was in your article!

Noted on the Tiny - "Snurl" URL's.
As you were saying, it was a "stab" ;)

I trust your posts to be safe, but I worry about getting folks in the habit
of clicking on URL's that they can't easily see lead to reliable sites.

The long URL I posted isn't a whole lot better--if it was malicious, it'd be
hard for someone to type by hand for verification.
