Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but when we contacted Microsoft last
week about this, we were told that they were about 30 days from a beta
release. The press releases you have seen are probably just the usual
pre-announcements.
I believe that some of the public info about the product includes the
fact that it is based on the eShop product they purchased and that it
will make heavy use of ActiveX and their COM model. I have no specific
security info at this time.
