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.

They let Eric go to Redmond?  I thought they kept him chained to the debugger all day.  Did he have one with him? J

 

And why are you there, anyway?

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.
