RE: Vista - VPN not needed....

["Kyle Quest" <Kyle.Quest () networkengines com>]

He's probably talking about how Vista (and Longhorn) 
will be using IPSec as much as possible. One thing to keep
in mind is that it will have to be a pure Windows environment,
which will require not only Vista, but also the latest server OS.

My guess it will be using Kerberos for IPSec authentication
(which is a Microsoft only IPSec authentication method) and
Kerberos for user authentication (so there's no need for
L2TP and traditional VPNs) and Group Policy using Active 
Directory to set things up transparently (without users
even knowing what's going on).

In a conference call Wednesday, Goldberg said the new operating system
would allow people to log onto their office's system remotely without
needing to connect through a virtual private network, or VPN, which some
users find cumbersome.

What is this all about?

BTW, in the three vista articles linked by Google News, this one is the
only one that comes close to talking about least priv.
