From the Windows DevCenter Blogosphere
Are You Secure?
Microsoft has a useful tool to help businesses evaluate their current IT
infrastructure's level of security--it's called the Microsoft Security
Assessment. Mitch Tulloch has details.

Two Cheers for Vista's RSS Handling
Vista embraces RSS in a big way--subscribing to feeds is built into IE,
and there's a nice gadget for displaying feeds on the desktop as well.
It's too bad, though, that the tools aren't more powerful. Check out my
blog for more info.
