[News] [Rival] Microsoft Uses 'Security' Updates to Promote Agenda

Microsoft's Mo' Ice

| Something stinks in Redmond, and it's yesterday's Microsoft Security
| Advisory #937696. I hate when Microsoft uses--or appears to--security
| as an excuse to accomplish some other objective.

| Sorry, but I see MOICE and so-called security concerns about Office
| binary files as a Trojan Horse for OOXML, which its own Trojan Horse.
| As I explained on Thursday, OOXML is much more than a file format.
| Microsoft has platform ambitions for OOXML, as the company seeks to
| advance business intelligence and other initiatives.

Microsoft imposes Vista tax on Mac and Linux virtualization

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft says that it originally considered banning Vista on
| virtualization systems because of concerns it has about security.
| Apparently AMD and Intel have built virtualization hooks into
| their CPUS. While the aim of this was to allow virtualization to
| work better, Microsoft claims that it created a security flaw.
