이 주 Forrester 연구 분석가 토마스 Mendel는 창 비스타 그들의 배치를 재판명하고 창 7을 기다리는 것을 고려해야 한ㄴ다는 것을 비스타가 기업에서 "거절된" 요구하고 그의 고객에게 건의하는 창을 저 보고를 간행했다. 당연한 일로, 이것은 기업 고객의 우리, 우리의 수백만, 및 성가신 통계의 낱단이 동의하지 않는 무언가이다. Heck, even Forrester doesn't agree with Forrester! Let me explain:

First, this report doesn't reflect the normal enterprise OS adoption cycle. Enterprise adoption of OSes has always been much slower than consumer adoption. After all, upgrading the PC in your living room is easy, but upgrading an entire front and back end infrastructure to thousands of users without downtime is much more complex, and that takes time. Computerworld contributing author (and Microsoft partner) David Feng just wrote an article about this, too. Mendel's report, however, simply skims over this common knowledge.

What is even more puzzling is that Mr. Mendel's report directly contradicts another Forrester report titled, "Building the Business Case for Windows Vista," which was written by fellow analyst Ben Gray. This report outlines the five main reasons why enterprises should start their company's migration

In case you have been living under a rock for the past month you have most likely heard about the DNS cache exploit recently discovered by Dan Kaminsky. This might be one of the most severe flaws discovered as it was cross platform affecting everything from Windows to Linux, UNIX, Cisco IOS etc.... It was so big in fact that all the major vendors worked together to get the patch issued on the same day. The flaw would allow an attacker to insert a malicious DNS record into the cache. As an end user you type in www.technet.com and rather than get the proper IP address the cache delivers the malicious IP address sending you to ???? You can find out more on the details of the flaw at Dan's blog.

You should also make sure that you are patched. Make sure that your upstream ISP DNS servers are patched by calling them or using Dan's DNS Checker at the top of his website.

So why all of a sudden a rush to ensure you are patched? Well the patches issued by the vendors have been reverse engineered and exploit code has been published! Dan has

Do you know what XLG Security Center is?

DESCRIPTION

XLG Security Center was discovered to be a clone of XLGuarder which is a rogue anti-spyware program causing issues for computer users all over the world. XLG Security Center pretends to be a full security software suit that helps you remove or prevent spyware and other infections. XLG Security Center is far from doing any of this.

XLG Security Center tries it’s best to get you to purchase the full version of the XLG Security Center program through popus, system alerts and fake scan reports. XLG Security Center may also spread the XLGuarder program onto your system which is no better than having XLG Security Center installed. XLG Security Center has a silhouette of a woman which we think is part of the voice that you hear when XLG Security Center is run. This most deceptive thing about XLG Security Center is that you cannot close the program unless you end process or completely remove it.

Aliases: XLG Security Center, XLG SecurityCenter, XLGSecurityCenter.

In non-techie terms: XLG Security Center is not much different from many other rogue anti-spyware programs that are infecting computer users today. The web site xlguarder.com is
