Microsoft to give Vista kernel access to security firms - an interesting article that explains why Microsoft is going to publish new API to allow 3rd party security software to access the Vista kernel. This is a really amazing news, because once these gates will be opened to 3rd party security software they can be (theoretically) used by malware to gain the access to kernel.

Here I am. A lot of time have passed since I wrote my last post... Now I hope the situation will be changed.

I was in Moscow in CEE MVP Open Days 2006, and I can tell you - it was cool! MVP's from Ukraine, Russia, Poland, Checzh republic and other countries were listening reports from MS and Russian MVPs.
