"Microsoft is adopting technology from EMC's RSA security division for Windows to police data and prevent loss and theft of information.

"The companies announced Thursday Microsoft will license RSA's data loss prevention (DLP) engine for future versions of Exchange Server, SharePoint Server, and "similar" products."

...Oh that's just a fantastic idea!

"RSA's suite finds data and lets you monitor and control its use across networks and on devices."

So it's function depends are getting "inside" other people's devices across a network - ya that'll work great!

"The companies said they are working together so customers don't need to buy different rights management point products for use with "infrastructure" software, such as Windows."

I have an idea, how about not making me buy anything at all to "protect" "my" files, for "my own good"? Oh... nevermind...
