I was briefed earlier today on Visual Studio support on Windows Vista, and I wanted to clear the air... because there seems to be some confusion.
- Visual Studio 6.0 - Supported on Windows Vista
- Visual Studio 2002 - Not supported on Windows Vista
- Visual Studio 2003 - Not supported on Windows Vista
- Visual Studio 2005 SP1- Supported on Windows Vista, currently has UAC-related compatibility issues that may get in your way. This issues will be fixed after Vista RTMs. (I suspect if you shut UAC off you won't have these issues... but of course I don;t recommend that)
What does this mean for developers? Well, it's important to remember that the .NET 1.1 runtime will still be compatible with Vista, so your apps themselves will continue to run fine. But for the tools, it would take a lot of work to bring those apps up to speed, and Microsoft has to make hard choices on how it allocates its resources.
If you're in a large organization, and you still have to support .NET 1.1 code, chances are pretty good you're on Software Assurance, and you'll have a copy of Windows Vista Enterprise. Time to utilize one of your 4 VPC image license and fire up your development environment in Virtual PC. If you're not in a large organization, Virtual PC / Virtual Server is still free. Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 Beta 2 (say that 5x fast) has a new utility called VHDMount that lets you mount a VHD as a physical hard drive on the host. You can store all of your source code in a separate VHD and access it from both the host and the guest.
UPDATE: Don't forget about MSBee, which lets you compile to .NET 1.1 on VS2005.
The other solution is to migrate most of the organization to Vista and keep the developers on XP/2003. You can still develop for .NET 3.0 on those platforms, so most apps shouldn't have a problem (unless you're hooking into something like dwmapi.dll)
Anyways, is Microsoft trying to purpously force people to upgrade to .NET 2.0/3.0? Absolutely not. But you have to ask youself a question: Would rather Visual Studio "Orcas" be delayed until the end of 2007 to get 2003 running on Vista? I know my answer is "hell no", and yours probably is too.
It's a bad deal, but in the end, it's the right call to keep other products on track. I wish Microsoft baked VPC into Vista like virtualization was built into OSX for OS9 compatibility... but I'm just a crazy man.

Itt van egy érdekes flash demo is.
Today Microsoft announced the availability of Microsoft Windows PowerShell RC2, the command line shell and scripting language that helps IT Professionals achieve greater productivity and control of system administration. Using a new admin-focused scripting language and consistent syntax and utilities, Windows PowerShell accelerates automation. Windows PowerShell is easy to adopt, learn, and use, because it works with existing IT infrastructure and scripting tools.
This Release Candidate 2 of Windows PowerShell addresses numerous customer requests based on their evaluation of Beta3 and RC1 including:
· Direct ADSI support to allow IT Pros to more easily administer Active Directory
· Improved support for Windows Management Instrumentation through ability to change WMI properties via methods
· Additional logical operators (XOR and binary XOR) that make it easier to write sophisticated scripts
· Improved help content and help functionality including new views that make it easier to find the right information.
Windows PowerShell 1.0 will release-to-web in Q4 CY06
Windows PowerShell will be leveraged by Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and System Center Operations Manager 2007.
Customers can download Windows PowerShell RC2 at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925228

Here's how:
- Go to Run on the Start menu and type ‘cmd’ (without the quotes)
- A DOS like command prompt window will open. You must see the flashing cursor.
- At the command prompt type ‘net user administrator /random’ (without the quotes)
Note: There is space before the slant(/)
Command prompt will now generate a strong password for you to use.

Broadband connection are fast. But did you know that you can still increase the speed (bandwidth) of your broadband connection (e.g. Smartbro wireless broadband). You can still speed up your bandwidth by 20% more without cost. Just follow this simple step but be extra carefull because it involves editing your registry.
Because Windows XP seems want to reserve 20% of the bandwidth for its self. Even with QoS disabled, even when this item is disabled. So why not use it to your advantage.
Hogyan?:

Nem tudom, hogyan kerülhette el figyelmemet. Fokoznom kell az éberséget.
Inline Search is an extremely useful free add-on for Internet Explorer that mimicks Firefox's search behavior i.e. it turns searching into a web page into a non modal research experience coupled with a search as you type facility. It integrates flawlessly into IE (version 5.5 or above), giving it that little extra that makes you a lot more efficient when you are looking for a specific piece of information.

NetXen claims to be able to virtualise a network interface within the network card itself, rather that relying on a hypervisor.

Jelenleg ez dühöng. Jó finn banda.
Egy digg nyomán az eWeek-en olvashatunk Ryan Naraine tolmácsolásában, hogy egy David Kierznowski nevű - "penetration testing expert" (ahh, de jó kis életcél, vö: Inetpub Certified Drink Master Professionals) - foglalkozású hacker
released proof-of-concept code and rigged PDF files to demonstrate how the Adobe Reader program could be used to launch attacks without any user action.
A hacker azt állítja, a kidolgozott technológia konkrét megvalósításával még nem találkozott. A közétett, és teljesen peccselt Acrobat Reader-ben megnyitható demoi:
elég veszélyes helyzetet írnak le. A dolgot persze az érintett cég kissebbíteni igyekszik.
Kierznowski said his interest in auditing PDF files for back doors comes from a fascination with the concept of "passive hacking."
"Active exploitation techniques such as buffer overflows are becoming more and more difficult to find and exploit ... The future of exploitation lies in Web technologies," he said, noting that internal users are often in a "relationship of trust" with the surrounding network.
Confirming a trend that sees Microsoft Office applications—Word, Excel, PowerPoint—used in zero-day attacks, Kierznowski sees a future of client-side hacking that expands the functionality of a service.
"This form of hacking merely manipulates the user's client to perform a certain function, effectively using the user's circle of trust," he said.
A Slashdot blogja mutatott rá Brent Huston, security.itworld.com igen lényeges cikkére.
Ebben tapasztalatai alapján részletezi a spammerek 4 fő technikáját:
- The first, and least common, is spammers that obtain temporary legal and real accounts with ISPs.
- The second method used to send spam is through compromised hosts, usually workstations and home computers on high-speed connections such as DSL or cable modems.
- The third way spam is spread is using web forms.
- The last, and most common method that spammers use is via open relays.
A következtetése is érdekes:
From this process I learned that they were doing much more server analysis than I expected before they dump their spam. I also learned that they do a multi-step approach. They scan the server for proper RFC compliance, and then they send a test message to a disposable address. Only after these are complete did they adopt the tool to dump their spam. This is much more cautious than I expected them to be.

Overview
NSA initiatives in enhancing software security cover both proprietary and open source software, and we have successfully used both proprietary and open source models in our research activities. NSA's work to enhance the security of software is motivated by one simple consideration: use our resources as efficiently as possible to give NSA's customers the best possible security options in the most widely employed products. The objective of the NSA research program is to develop technologic advances that can be shared with the software development community through a variety of transfer mechanisms. NSA does not favor or promote any specific software product or business model. Rather, NSA is promoting enhanced security.

Első ránézésre jelentősen fejlődött az egyébként is jó aktív Web Developer Toolbar-ja. Lényegesen több információt meg lehet kapni a web oldalról, css file-okat lehet röptében alkalmazni mind eddig. A fejlesztők támogatásával messze veri az IE7-et.
Az már egy másik kérdés, miért értelmezik különbözően a browserek a legegyszerűbb fogalmakat (látható kép mérete pixelben eltér az IE 7.5700.6, FF 1.5.07, Opera 9.02 -ban) Lassan a verziószámok földbe verik a szovjet rakéta sorszámokat. 8=D
