Yep, he actually was in Redmond. I think he had a debugger
running on his phone. He wasn't there for what we were there for but the timing
aligned so that was cool. I almost got to meet Dmitri G. as well but something
fell through unfortunately. That was definitely a disappointment.
Why am I here? Well.... because I rant a lot and they seem
to like that and drag me out here to rant in person.
Seriously though, it is a little get together about
security. Not very much AD stuff unfortunately, other aspects of security. Lots
of good info and lots of good feedback. Overall think of the security ramp up
going on by MS by visualizing the curve represented by y=x^2 for all
positive values of x. It may have seemed to have started slow but is spinning up
very very quickly. Just many of these initiatives will take a little time and
lots of hard decisions... Look at the impact (both good and bad) of XP2 to start
to understand the difficulties.
From my standpoint it was nice to hear many different
people besides myself all hitting the concept of making the OS more modular and
allowing us to pick and choose components we want loaded on our servers. I won't
mention any particular technologies that we asked to be able to be removed if we
wanted but if you made a list of the top ten pieces you would like modularized
so it could be partioned off for security you will probably hit the main one we
focused on.
I do have to say that I always thought the MS Incident
Response (Security Response Center) folks were bright. Meeting them in person
you realize just how bright - startlingly bright. They are doing some very cool
things that will hopefully pop out into the public realm in the next year
or two.

On Behalf Of listmail I sit corrected.
:o) I guess what I meant is that a
linked attribute is used as an implied indexed attribute for queries in K3.
Might be interesting to just have
the engine light the indexed flag of any attributes that are linked and clear
all confusion in K3. On another topic, I know
everyone on the list is jealous, I actually met ~Eric face to face today. He
looks amazingly like Tom Cruise.
