Smart Tags - New Microsoft Offering on XP Version (NewsFactorNetwork - McNeill) Describes Microsoft's new Smart Tags, included in its XP version of Office and Windows. In Office XP, Smart Tags will be active. In Windows XP, the user will need to turn Smart Tags on. Smart Tags allow Microsoft to place its choice of links to any word it wishes on anyone's Web pages or documents, without the authors' permission. For example, Microsoft could sell the word "education" so that every time a user of XP finds the word on any document or Web page, the word "education" would link to the business of Microsoft's choice. 6-01
