well it's not like M$ spends any $$$ on their office division... the code still sucks... so how is making less money doing something to their infinite profit margin ?;)
This is all rather intriguing, but I don't see it being a solution for anything. This stuff DOES NOT solve the last mile problem. I live in a residential neighborhood and have a power x-former within spitting distance of my house. I wouldn't buy for a second that all (read: any) of the transformers out there on our power grid are ethernet-over-powerline compliant. So this means that the freq. multiplexers for this crap are gonna have to be DOWNSTREAM from the transformers, now doesnt it.:) Thus they are going to HAVE to run fibre/coax/STP/whatever to the end of my street ANYWAYS. At which point I'm getting out my lil phreaking/breaking into other stuff kit...and going and buying an IEEE802.11b transceiver...nuff said.
As for home ethernet....I dont think anyone in their right mind would want to buy hardware for multiple systems using this setup with hardware encryption....making it REALLY easy for anyone branched off the same trandformer to snoop on your network. Unless of course you intent on finding RF traps capable of shunting...say...100-400A thru them.:)
