Hey everyone, Mike Reavey here. I wanted to write a brief entry to let everyone know that we have posted a new security advisory today. The advisory describes information that was posted publicly involving Internet Explorer and can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/902333.mspx We’re not aware of any customer impact at this time, and the issue can be avoided with safe browsing practices.

Hi everyone, Debby Fry Wilson here. Just wanted to talk a little bit about a security advisory we have released today just as a precaution. There’s been a lot of concern about MS05-039 because of the recent attacks against unpatched Windows 2000 systems. On operating systems like Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003, any attack trying to exploit MS05-039 would have to be local to the computer, and could not travel automatically across a network unless the attacker was already at the system.

Craig here again. What a day. Release Day. You never know what it is going to bring around here. Craziness usually, but I like it that way. I usually come in early on release day and it is one of the few days in a year where I will get some breakfast from one of the cafeterias here.

MSRC’s Release Manager Craig Gehre here. I’ll write first about what you probably care most about today, then on to who I am and why I’m the newest blogger on this site. This morning we posted the advance notification for next Tuesday’s bulletin release: 7 bulletins affecting Windows. The maximum severity rating for these security updates is Critical and some will require a restart.

For attendees and staff alike, TechEd is a busy place with long hours, aching backs and sore feet - but worth it! I have spent every second that our stand has been open meeting with our customers - and what a variety there is! We might learn the experiences of a home user with Windows Update one minute, then discuss the issues facing a 200,000 seat world-wide deployment the next.

I spent all day yesterday manning the MSRC Cabana and Security Guidance Booth. Between Stephen’s voice looping on the MSRC videorunning in the Cabana, and Simon’s funky accent saying “What can I tell you about the MSRC?” to every passer-by, I was so happy last night to be in the silence of my hotel room.

I just want to take a moment to thank *everyone* who attended the MSRC talk today at Tech Ed. You guys asked some great questions and provided some awesome feedback. What I heard from you resoundingly, is that we’re on the right track, and there are still great things we can do to further assist you.

Wow, oh wow. It’s always a pleasure to see Steve Ballmer speak, and it’s a greater privilege to be here at Tech Ed 2005 supporting the great things he noted in his keynote. I’ve seen Bill Gates speak many times, but other than some internal presentations to employees I’ve never gotten a chance to see Steve speak to our customers live.

Hi folks, counting down - it’s just a couple of weeks now until TechEd Orlando. Stephen, Mike and I are excited to have the opportunity once again to meet our customers, and hear your experiences and feedback around our security bulletins. This year at TechEd we will take this a step further with a focus group on exactly this topic.
