It's is a streamline install of Office SharePoint Server 2007 with almost all the enterprise search features that most users would want and is a must download for any Windows Server shop. Even if you didn't own Windows Server 2003, 2003 R2, or 2008, it would seem like a great way to build a very cheap enterprise search engine appliance with a minimal Windows Server 2003 or above license and a simple 1U server for less than $2000 which is a LOT less than a $30K starting price Google Search Engine appliance with a 500K document cap.

(NYSE: MFE) today announced that its McAfee(R) Secure Internet Gateway appliance outperformed Barracuda Networks' products in several tests.

"Our goal with Secure Internet Gateway is to provide unrivaled protection against Web and e-mail threats all in a single appliance that is simple to install and manage-saving our customers time, money, and hassle."

U.S. security turning border into parking lot, envoy warns
WASHINGTON U.S. Customs and Border Protection should review and reduce excessive security measures at the Canada-U.S. line or risk turning it into a parking lot, Ambassador Michael Wilson told the agency Wednesday. Idling trucks on both sides of the border aren't secure or profitable, he said, and fees are being slapped several times on the same products as parts travel back and forth during manufacturing. .
Chris Rose: Debate snub has him singing the Oxford blues
When I'm not tuned into the more compelling contest of who will win the Super Bowl this year, I occasionally dial into the presidential race, generally to recoil in horror at the spectacle of it all. It's freakish almost, given the broad palette of players and personalities still in the race, that the most entertaining -- and frightening -- character currently in this drama is not one of the candidates, but a spouse who also happens to be a former president. Bill Clinton looks so wild-eyed, ticked off and sleep-deprived on the campaign trail -- he fell asleep at the head table at a Martin Luther King tribute Monday -- that he seems to be putting his own legacy on the line in a bloody battle to put his wife into the White House. Even Ted Kennedy told him to shut up.
