 IEEE 802.11e
O novo padrão 802.11e foi projetado para permitir que certos tipos de tráfego wireless sejam prioritários em relação a outros para assegurar que ligações em telefones IP e conteúdo multimídia serão acessados tão bem em redes wireless como em redes com fio.
Greg Ennis, diretor técnico da Wi-Fi Alliance, espera que os novos padrões manterão uma compatibilidade maior, mesmo sabendo que as especificações tendem a proliferar e se transformar.
O padrão responsável pela velocidade será o 802.11n, planejado apenas para 2005.

 Microsoft Windows - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Microsoft's next OS was Windows 98; there were two versions of this (the first in 1998 and the second, named "Windows 98 Second Edition", in 1999).
This is in contrast with Apple Computer, which does not license Mac OS X to other manufacturers.
In the past, companies who wanted to be in the computer business had to create their own operating systems (such as the Amiga, BBC Micro or ZX Spectrum) or choose another OS; even an exclusive license with one vendor was significantly cheaper than developing and supporting a new operating system and software base.

Microsoft's operating system has also benefited from the fact that they are one of the few companies that are willing to license their OSes to hardware manufacturers (for example, Apple does not license Mac OS X and Sun did not license Solaris to anyone before it was open-sourced).
Before, companies who wanted to be in the computer business had to create their own operating system (such as the Amiga) or use an OS without a GUI (like MS-DOS or CP/M); even an exclusive license was significantly cheaper than developing a new operating system and creating a software base.
A study conducted by Kevin Mitnick and marketing communications firm, Avantgarde, found that an unprotected and unpatched Windows XP system only lasted 4 minutes on the Internet before it was compromised.
