Let the fight begin.
Computerworld Article: "Microsoft takes on Google with Virtual Earth
Web service and international versions on the way
...
Through a client application called Microsoft Location Finder that can be downloaded when a user clicks a "Find Me" icon in Virtual Earth, Microsoft accesses the MAC (media access control) addresses of wireless access points that a user's device can reach, whether or not the user is logged in to any of them, he says.
Microsoft has worked with third parties to assemble a database of router MAC addresses and the latitude and longitude of those access points. Location Finder finds the access points in the database and then triangulates the location of the user's device based on the signal strength of those access points, Law says."

At a loss for words
Download details: Access 2003 Add-in: Source Code Control: "This download contains the Access 2003 source code control add-in for communicating between both Microsoft Office Access 2003 Service Pack (SP) 1 and a source code control application (like Visual Source Safe 6.0). "
1) Why is this not offered in the original install?
2) Why have I not heard of this before?
3) Just on time for team systems to break it ;)
*UPDATE*
Don't bother.
I could not get it to work.
If you can let me know... all I get is am menu bar that never activates.
vapourware strikes again :(
