[Microsoft] Day 1 Begins

We arrived at the Microsoft Campus on a beachliner this morning at 7:30. They served us a nice buffet breakfast and now we're waiting for the first talk to start. They handed us a book titled "Writing Secure Code", which is a monster at 700+ pages and has a quote from Bill Gates on the bottom: "Required reading at Microsoft." I have a hard time believing that.

The worst part? No internet access - wireless or wired. I'm uploading this via Bluetooth on my phone - which is about to die. I forgot the charger at home, so hopefully I can borrow one from someone.

FYI, I e-mailed Scoble about a cord for my camera (forgot that at home too). He's going to try to hook me up with a replacement so I should be able to upload pictures later this afternoon.

"Write Secure Code (2)" is actually required reading here (at Microsoft). Fortunately, the authors also routinely do presentations that condense the material into a 4 - 5 hour course with lots of war stories that help bring the material home. In any case, the book has been on the required reading list since 2003 (maybe 2002). If you look at the releases after those dates, I hope you'll agree that there has been a lot more focus on getting security right the first time. Were those efforts successful? In some cases, I think they were (discovered IIS6 vulnerabitlies for the last few years have been reallky low). I'm still curious to see how well XPSP2 and Win2k3/Win2k3SP1 stands up over time... the latest OS's plus Office 2003 are the ones I think are interesting to watch.
