betanews.com - 17.04.2008Office 2003 SP3: Are new formats more secure?
Blocking old file formats in the Office 2003 Service Pack 3 (SP3) release was meant to bolster security for Microsoft customers, but whether the new
formats are any more secure than older ones is debatable.
Few within IT feel compelled to side with Microsoft when debates over
file formats, backward compatibility and security emerge, yet the Redmond software giant's decision to block a swathe of old formats such as pre-97
PowerPoint, Excel, Word and Corel Draw formats has been met with sympathy from analysts.
Microsoft said it was attempting to
address security concerns by blocking the older file formats. "By default, these file types are blocked because the parsing code that Office 2003
uses to open and save the file types is less secure. Therefore, opening and saving these file types may pose a risk to you," it said in its advisory.

While ISO isn't set to announce the official voting tally until tomorrow, the OpenDoc
Society has posted to a mailing list what it claims are the final results indicating that Microsoft will be granted ISO approval for its Office
Open XML (OOXML) document format.
According to the
alleged results page, OOXML received a 75 percent “approve” total. It needed 66.66 percent to become an ISO standard. Here is the alleged
ISO ballot information on OOXML (zipped PDF file).
winbeta.org - 01.04.2008Don't slipstream XP SP3 on Windows Vista!
This just in from Bink, seems he had a pretty interesting weekend attempting to Slipstream XP SP3.
"So I build a new Windows XP ISO with
SP3 integrated, this is a Volume License editions (VOL) which only accepts Volume License Keys (VLK). When I want to install it on a clean machine, I
noticed that setup prompts for a product key and it does not allow me to continue, which should be a new feature in XP sp3. OK so I fill in the VLK
but it does not accept it, I try another one from a customer of mine, does not work either. Angry
I found out that the problem is when you
do the XP Sp3 slipstream process on a WIndows Vista machine, the API gives a different response and screws up the PID process. This is a bug and
Microsoft knew about this in December, still the bug remained and made it all the way to RTM, nice work Microsoft.
So XP SP slipstream only
on XP or 2003 machines!!!"
neowin.net - 05.05.2008Microsoft apologizes to Corel, users for Office 2003 SP3 muck-up
Microsoft Corp. apologized to a software rival yesterday for saying its file format posed a security risk and issued new tools to let users of Office
2003 SP3 unblock a host of barred file types.
In a posting to his own blog, David LeBlanc, a senior software development engineer
with the Microsoft Office team, admitted the company's mistake in blaming insecure file formats, including the one used by CorelDraw.
"We
stated that it was the file formats that were insecure, but this is actually not correct," LeBlanc said, referring to a description in a now-changed
support document. "A file format isn't insecure -- it's the code that reads the format that's more or less secure. The parsers we use for these
older formats aren't as robust as the code we've written more recently, which is part of our decision to disable them by default.

Blu-ray burners holds a maximum write speed of 8x, making the new release quite a performance boost. In addition to cutting burn times, Pioneer
claims that the new BDR-205 burner has been designed with a low vibration mechanism that will improve writing accuracy over the current generation of
burners. The burner will also be able to read and write DVD media at 16x and CD media at 40x.

neowin.net - 01.10.2009Microsoft's Open XML standards vote brings politics and dismay
This Sunday is the deadline for an important standards vote on Microsoft's Open XML file formats, with early reports pointing to an inconclusive
result--and a hefty dose of disillusionment with the standards process.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
is due to receive votes by September 2 on whether Open XML will be certified as an ISO standard through its fast-track process.
The completion of the vote is a milestone in a process Microsoft began nearly two years ago to make Open XML--the native file formats in Office
2007--international standards. ISO standardization is particularly important with government customers with long-term archival needs.
Local news reports and participants' blogs have reported on some countries' votes before the final tally. In those reported cases, the votes
have conditions attached to them which should prevent immediate ISO ratification.
