Hey, it's Microsoft. How can one be surprised?

Desktop workloads and server workloads have different needs. Why address them in the same operating system? They could call them Linux XP and Linux Pro! Or Linux Vista and Linux Server 2012 R2.

If you haven’t had your password hijacked, it’s really just a matter of time. Here's my new idea: every login form will have a new checkbox, "Yes, it's really me, not a hacker." Bulletproof security!
|
|
|
|
|
What about the hacker then? There must be a constitutional founded legislation enabling even hacker-scumbacks to login now and then. Or otherwise you could just as well disable the checkmark to begin with if the current loged in user has a TRUE marking for Session.User.IsHacker <--- you know that one?

..and the companies where passwords are "stolen" should be held financially liable for all consequences thereof. As long as it is not, there will not be an incentive (and hence, budget) to secure anything. Larger companies have proven this to be true. It's simply cheaper to do some marketing in case of fire, as opposed to prevention.
Any system that "knows" your password (by mailing it to you, best proof that it is saved in the database in a readable form) is insecure. And no, there is NO EXCUSE for saving a password in your database.

What about an Al-Queda-version instead?: If security is so insecure to begin with why not remove it all together? Therefore a name should be enough. Also passwords are so difficult to remember - right? On attempts to login on other peoples behalf a finger are chubbed off at the local police station and on following attempts another finger. On the 10'th attempt no more fingers are left and he/she can't login anymore. Set and done! Top security and as a result - over time - no more security are compromised.

I had joked that the way to keep your passwords secure is to never know them. Create some 100 character mess by mashing on the keyboard and then, just request a new password every time you sign in.
I know. I know. GENIUS!!!
well, as long as the email acct associated with the password recovery is good, then you are ok.

The password should not be sent (be known to me as an employee), but stored as a hash. If need be, one could reset it.
From, say, an email account.

You are right. I should've said that more clearly. I meant "send me a temporary generated one". Then I can forget about that one and get a new one next time.

Have you seen this dashlane[^] thing? It is an interesting concept for storing retrieving passwords.
I just saw the commercial over the weekend and I had been thinking about just such an application.
|

Interesting. No, I hadn't heard of them. Looks at first glance to be yet another LastPass[^], 1Password[^], etc. clone, but it does seem to to a bit more than them. Thanks.

The closer we get to the public launch of Windows 9 preview, the more speculation emerges on the changes that Microsoft could make to its operating system. "So you can keep me guessing, come what may"

It doesn’t make sense for most companies to build their own software in-house when pre-fabricated solutions are available. "Everybody's got an opinion and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks."
OK, that quote was slightly modified from the original, just for little sister.

Well, Eminem, in his song said:
Quote: F***in' Internet bloggers: "I sit in front of my computer all day and comment on
Everything, I'm an expert on everything, everything sucks, play the next song"
You're right, everyone today thinks they can start a new Microsoft and create a new Windows and .NET Framework. I, can code, can develop softwares, but I won't, since I can get a more efficient code using an already developed Framewodk and library.
Business companies might be correct, while getting their software built for themself and secure, but most of the softwares are built keeping the security in mind so, using them and editing them out to fit their needs would be a better bid. I totally agree, people are pessimists right now!

It's been almost two years since Microsoft made Windows 8 available for the world, but now, two major updates on and we’ve still not seen any hint of the company bringing its Office suite into the future. Because people really want to select text with their fingers?
Actually, looking at some people's screens, it looks like they're already doing that.

Who wants to select text with their fingers? Atleast I don't! 
Furthermore, to make your opinion clear I would like to add, "Everyone likes to grab angry bird and throw it at the pigs with their finger".
This would be a good way of expressing your feelings to touch the machine process. Also, Microsoft has moved on to a much costly version of Office, the 360. Where you don't buy the Office Suite, who subscribe. You have to pay again after every month, pretty good thing for business but bad for the customers.

Yeah, such touch screens have existed since decades... though they were not at all touch-sensitive.
