Microsoft responds to Vista security concerns
[author:Karl Public time:Oct 17, 2006]

Security: Reacting to public complaints from the likes of McAfee and Symantec, Microsoft issues an API that will enable security vendors to disable the Security Center console that is part of Windows Vista. The remaining concern, however, is PatchGuard, which has security vendors saying they need kernel access to turn on critical security features.

From the feature well: Looking for a strategy to advance your career? There are at least 20 ways to get promoted in the tech industry. The first is 'think business first, technology second.' Numbers two and three are 'raise the bar' and 'volunteer for jobs no one else wants' respectively. I'll not spoil the ending.

The news beat: IBM sends 'Hawk' aflight; now known as Information Server the software is for "understanding, cleansing, transforming and delivering reliable, in-context information that had been previously scattered across organizations." iPass plans to expand its remote management to more effectively enforce corporate policies. And Sony joins the battery recall party by offering replacements for its own Vaio notebooks.

Best of the blogs: Roger Grimes brings some comedic relief in the form of Amazon entries for the tech head, replete with fake RFCs. In Grimes' words: the humor is more in the reviewer's remarks than anything else.
