Are you using your blog to talk about using Windows and Windows Live? Do you want to get your post showcased on Microsoft websites? You should join The Clubhouse. The Clubhouse is a place that brings together people using their blogs to help others how to use the best parts of Windows and Windows Live.
How does The Clubhouse work?
You first need to apply to join The Clubhouse. There is a small review process in order to insure that there is a good fit for people applying and the rest of The Clubhouse.
Once you’re approved, you continue to write fantastic Windows and Windows Live content on your blog and use special tags that help identify what you’re writing about as it relates to either Windows or Windows Live. Your posts are brought into the Clubhouse via your RSS feed (having an RSS is a requirement to take part in The Clubhouse). Once you tag your post for The Clubhouse using the special tags, it gets pulled through your RSS feed into The Clubhouse.
In order to use the special tags needed to identify your contributions for The Clubhouse, you will need to add a new Tag Provider in Windows Live Writer. Right now, The Clubhouse has special tags for Windows Live and Windows Vista, with a set of special tags launching for Windows 7 later this month.
Once your post is published with the special tags – it appears within The Clubhouse where members of The Clubhouse rate one another’s contributions, so the top rated content can be showcased on Microsoft websites, newsletters, and even tweeted from @MSWindows and @windowslive. So it’s up to your peers to choose which content is good enough to get showcased.
So where is your content showcased?
After you get enough good votes inside The Clubhouse – depending on the type of post (Windows Vista or Windows Live) your stuff will show up on 1 of 2 Microsoft websites:
Outside of the really cool opportunity to get your content from your blog showcased on Microsoft websites, The Clubhouse offers several other “perks”.
As you continue to write your own content – you will earn Club Points and Badges. When you earn a certain amount of Club Points, you get Badges. Each Badge you earn will appear next to any of your content showcased on Microsoft websites. You also can earn special-recognition Badges as well. These Badges are a great way for people reading your content to see how much you rock.
Because I am a Microsoft employee, for any of my content you will see this Badge:
If you blog quite a bit about using Windows and Windows Live – I suggest giving The Clubhouse a look and applying! It can be a great way to gain more exposure of your content!

I got into the office this morning and noticed that volume six of the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report (SIRv6) was released earlier today. For those of you who are not familiar with the report, the SIR is published by Microsoft twice per year. Each volume of the SIR looks at the data and trends observed in the first and second halves of each calendar year with a focus on malware data, software vulnerability disclosure data, vulnerability exploit data, and related trends.
A trend that the SIR calls out right up front was around rogue security software. The second half of 2008 saw a clear rise in prevalence of rogue security software (software which poses as anti-malware or anti-spyware protection but in reality does little or nothing, and may even be malware!). While I knew the issue was out there and even had to help a good friend clean his system after being duped, the rise was eye-opening for me. The take away: be careful out there! Get your software from a trusted source and keep it up-to-date with the latest Windows Updates. Be cautious not to follow advertisements for unknown software that pretends to provide protection. Access the sites of reputable vendors directly for information or subscription to their products and services.
Another piece of data I that I wanted to pass along deals with the infection rates of Windows, as shown in the graph below:
What this graph tells me is that the infection rate for Windows Vista is significantly lower than that of its predecessor, Windows XP, in all configurations. It also tells me that the higher the service pack level of an OS, the lower the infection rate. Once again, this really points out that you need to keep your software up-to-date!
I encourage you to download the full report and hope that you find the data, insights, and guidance provided in the SIR useful in helping you understand today’s threat landscape and ultimately help you protect your networks and users.
