Microsoft Computer Phone May Track User Presence
Microsoft intends to bundle an Internet phone in Windows XP, its newest operating system. The "intelligent phone" may be able to route calls to individuals through "Hailstorm" technology, which allows the network to detect a user�s presence at a device. Microsoft�s phone may be an attempt to compete with ENUM, a new standard that links a single number to multiple points of contact information.Microsoft Is Ready to Supply a Phone in Every Computer, New York Times, June 12, 2001 (registration required).
