Microsoft's new operating system won't be out until late 2006, but here's a look at some of the new security features expected.
Windows Vista's new security features
It seems that every time I sit down with Microsoft to discuss Windows Vista, something has been changed or added, which is good. In some cases, something has been removed, which is bad. One and a half years from launch, I understand that beta code changes frequently. Here's my standard disclaimer: the following article is based on the last build from Microsoft, Windows Vista build 5219, released September 2005.

As announced before, tab switching is getting a
dramatic update for Firefox 3.1 in both visual and behavior.
Press Ctrl + Tab (or Shift +
Ctrl + Tab) and you are presented with tab thumbnails and titles with the most recently visited ones first so you can more easily
determine which tab you want to go, have the one you most probably want to go closer, and as a result get to it faster. Hold Ctrl pressed and
keep pressing Tab to see the thumbnails smoothly scroll to the left while the status bar displays the tab web address.

Back in May, the Internet Explorer (IE) team left open the possibility that Microsoft might deliver a tab-responsiveness update for those of us suffering from IE 8 tab-performance issues.
Alas, that update isnt going to happen. Based on feedback from Windows 7 testers, Microsoft has scotched the idea. Not only is there no tab-hang
reporting functionality for the IE 8 release that is built into Windows 7, but there wont be any for us IE 8 users running Windows XP or Vista,
either.

to a fleet of high-tech and security-enhanced helicopters, the term "Marine One" is used to refer specifically to the helicopter in which the
President currently is flying. The technical specifications for all of the helicopters in the fleet are highly classified, and any security breach,
particularly to a hostile foreign power, is naturally of great concern.

In my most recent piece, "IE8, and why it's almost my default browser", I outline a couple of factors that inhibited IE8 from holding the
default browser position on my PC. Since writing that article, due in part to some helpful Neowin members and some quality time with IE8, I have since
awarded IE8 that coveted position on my PC and have promptly thrown Google Chrome to the curb. Perhaps the most taxing of my issues was what has been
colloquially referred to as the 'tab issue'. Many users have complained of severe delays when opening new tabs in Internet Explorer.

is less fragmentation in the future while also improving write file access, whereas typical defragmenters only focus on read file access.

winbeta.org - 03.09.2007Office 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.

betanews.com - 06.01.2006Tracing the memory leak: Is it Firefox 3?
Yesterday, we mentioned that we've been noticing recent versions of Firefox, including 3.0.5, have exhibited the memory leak problems that used to
plague Firefox 2. We are noticing this on both Windows XP SP3 and Vista SP1.
We'd also noticed that systems where the add-on Tab Mix Plus
was installed, did not appear to exhibit the same memory leak. Today, we uninstalled Tab Mix Plus (reluctantly, because we like it) from one system.
On that system, the memory use pattern has changed, perhaps moderated, though we're not sure the leak has gone away. It now appears to be
slower than in our tests yesterday, and from time to time, something in Firefox does clean up parts of memory from time to time. In one test,
we had two Firefox windows open with seven tabs open in one of them, a dozen in the other -- a pretty full slate. Task Manager is showing us that
Firefox grabs memory in one-megabyte chunks per second, for about a minute at a time, and then leveling back out to about 300,000 KB.
So if
it's not a leak right now, at least it's a fight, and we'll let you know what else we find...
betanews.com - 20.01.2009IE8 to be More Reliable
In a post on the IEBlog today, the development team announced some brand new features to IE8, which they say will improve the browser's reliability.
The most notable improvement is dubbed "Loosely-Coupled IE" (or "LCIE" for short). LCIE essentially splits the browser into several
pieces, therefore should one part of the browser crash, the rest of the browser can continue to function. So say a web page you are currently viewing
in one tab locks up, in IE7, this would mean all other tabs are locked as well, however with IE8; the remaining tabs are still accessible and fully
functional.
Another anticipated feature is the new Automatic Crash Recovery, in which IE8 is capable of recovering any tab, as well as
any unsaved form data within that tab, should it crash.
For details outlining the remaining features, continue reading at the IEBlog.

winbeta.org - 12.02.2008ISPs to blame for new worm affecting MSN users
ISPs could kill a new worm
that is spreading rapidly via
MSN Messenger, according to
security experts.
The worm, called
Backdoor.IRCBot.gen, spreads
by sending file transfer
requests to a victim's
contact list. Once accepted, a
malicious file is executed on
the recipients computer, which
gives criminals control of the
infected computer.
Experts say that in
most cases, IM worms send
files to all the user's
contacts without their
knowledge and the only way to
verify the authenticity of the
file is to check with the
person who is supposed to have
sent it.
James Turner, security
consultant for
Australian-based research firm
IBRS, claims ISPs could stop
the worm if they tried. ..
winbeta.org - 02.08.2007File Sharing Security Pitfalls
If youre a mobile PC user, you probably have a network at home. Maybe you only have one other computer connected to your home network (or maybe you
have 5 more, like me), but youd probably like to be able to share information between your various computers (for instance, sharing MP3 music files
from your desktop to your tablet PC). A common way to accomplish the task is to enable file sharing. Both Windows and Mac make it easy to access files
on one computer from another using their own flavor of file sharing. The catch, for the mobile user especially, is setting up file sharing
securely.
In the late 90s hackers developed and released various scanning tools to help them find computers connected to the
Internet with file sharing enabled. If the detected file shares were not password protected (called śopen files sharesť), the hacker tool could
automatically access the files and, in some cases, change or delete them...

Windows Vista also introduces
a new way to organize your
information, so that you can

work with every day however
you want to. You'll make the
most of your time—and
have more time for new ideas,
to solve problems, to be
artistic, or just to relax and

microsoft.com/windowsvista - 15.09.2005Flaw in Windows 7 and Vista could allow remote reboot
Security experts warned Tuesday that a vulnerability in Microsoft's implementation of the SMB2 protocol can be exploited via the net to crash or
reboot Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems. An exploit written in Python is already available and being tested by security experts. Initial tests by
heise security indicate the exploit enabled a remote reboot of a Vista system. However, in the test, the exploit had no apparent effect on a computer
running Windows 7. Microsoft has yet to acknowledge the issue and release an official update. The only current workaround is to close the SMB ports
by un-ticking the boxes for file and printer access in the firewall settings.

neowin.net - 08.09.2009More details on Windows Server
2003 SP2
Microsoft revealed more
details today about Windows
Server 2003's next Service
Pack, currently under an
ongoing beta-test.
"I know SP1 to
Windows Server 2003 made some
pretty big changes to the way
we do security and it
introduced a cycle of
application testing and some
compatibility issues?.this
was, however, a necessary evil
needed to address server
security," , said an employee
using the team blog.
Essentially, Service
Pack 2 is, as planned, a pack
of fixes since the last
release (R2), but also
includes some changes that
would likely ease transition
between it and Windows Vista,
or its Server counterpart,
still codenamed "Longhorn".
The change log also includes
updates to Remote Installation
Services, now known as Windows
Deployment Services, Microsoft
Management Console 3.0, and an
improved firewall.
For the first time
in ages, the msconfig tool
will be updated. "An
additional tab which provides
a single launching point for
common support tools that will
ease the discoverability of
common diagnostic
functionality.", Ralston
says.
On
another note, Service Pack 2
will update all version of the
OS, along with Windows XP x64
Edition.
