Janus
© May 2004 Tony Lawrence
Microsoft's internal name for its Digital Rights Management Software. Janus was the two faced god, looking both front and back at the same time. Microsoft chose this because the likeness of Janus was often placed at doors as a symbolic guard.
I don't know whether most Romans really believed Janus was guarding their homes, but I'm sure some of them did. No doubt, some people today will believe that Microsoft is working in their best interests.
