When I announced that I will leave PwC and join Microsoft, I got interesting reactions (and remember, this was 2001). Mainly they were along two lines: Oh, you are joining a desktop company? ... 
10 Reasons to migrate off Windows XPI would like you to sit back, close your eyes and think about the year 2001. Think about how you used technology back then, how you used the Internet. Now, let’s take it a little bit further back in history and think of the year 2000. Just after we realized that the Year-2000-Problem was handled very well by the industry.

Office 365 Becomes First and Only Major Cloud Productivity Service to Comply With Leading EU and U.S. Standards for Data Protection and SecurityA long title but this was the title of the official press statement yesterday.

Cybersecurity–More than a good headlineA lot of governments all across the globe are working on starting, restarting or pushing their Cybersecurity initiative.

This is not about piracy and not about leaks and not about… I am waiting for the new RC build as you are. I am running an intermediate build between Beta and RC and would love to upgrade all my machines (including my MediaCenter) to RC. However, I refrain from downloading it from any of . . . → Read More: Why you should not use P2P Windows 7 Builds Just a quick one. We released SP2 for Office 2007. You can download it here. Roger Scott held a keynote during RSA this week.

This is really bad – obviously. The press now started to cover this and I think we are already losing a little bit of focus in the discussion. I . . . → Read More: Finjan reports world's largest Botnet Just a brief one: I wrote an article for Infosecurity which was just published in the latest version covering the economic downturn as well. It is called Time to Step Up and can be found on page 45 of the latest edition. Roger This is a question I often get asked: What is the impact of the economic downturn on security?

You probably heard me talking about compliance (where, from a technical perspective Forefront can play an integral part) and what I call the best of need integrated platform – where . . . → Read More: Schedule update on Forefront Over the last few day we have seen a lot of coverage about new Conficker variants.

It is a way to express an opinion without having to worry (too much) about censorship. The disadvantage is that there are people who present things as “facts”, which are simply wrong.
