Microsoft Corporation One Microsoft Way Redmond, WA 98052 USA Tuesday, November 22, 2011 [+/-] Windows Hardware News for November 22, 2011 Sign up for other newsletters | Unsubscribe | Update your profile From the Editor With BUILD behind us and the Windows 8 beta release ahead, we continue to focus on the next version of Windows, code-named Windows 8. Earlier this month, the Windows Ecosystem Summit training event in Taipei provided industry partners with a closer look at the new technologies and opportunities in Windows 8. Windows team members presented on such topics as the new Hardware Certification Kit, the new Windows Driver Kit, developing and debugging drivers in Visual Studio, optimizing performance and battery life, enhancing code quality and error reporting, and plenty more. The session videos and slides from this event are available on Channel 9. The article in this issue about sensors and location responds to a direct customer question that we received through an online forum: "What's happening with the sensors and location platform for Windows 8?" We thought the development team's reply would be of interest to many of our readers. Finally, in addition to a recently published paper and a couple of recent blog highlights, this month we introduce a new feature, "Industry News." The intent is to gather and share some of the current, relevant news from the Windows and Microsoft hardware industry. We hope you find it informative and useful. Thanks, ~The Windows Hardware Content Team Top Story Windows Ecosystem Summit: Prime Your Hardware for Windows 8 Microsoft hosted a successful Windows Ecosystem Summit training event in Taipei, Taiwan, November 8¬ 10, 2011. More than 550 attendees heard about the fundamental changes coming to the Windows 8 platform and how these changes provide hardware partners the opportunity to reimagine their possibilities for success. The training content for this event includes information that will help partners develop and test systems, devices, and experiences that are primed for Windows 8.

While most people do not experience the full code path of setup/upgrade (because they buy new PCs and choose to get a new version of Windows that way), even orchestrating the new PC "out of box experience" (OOBE) is a complex technical challenge. Our aim in improving setup is to reduce the time from start to finish so that customers can get to Windows and use the full power of Windows to further customize and ultimately enjoy their new Windows experience. This post was written by Christa St. Pierre on our Setup and Deployment team.

You ordered upgrade "media" or maybe bought a magazine with a CD in it. Of course, the Internet changed all that. In fact, when ftp.microsoft.com was first set up, among the first services was the ability to get updates for MS-DOS and Windows. With the introduction of Windows Update, we invested heavily in building not just a software delivery service, but a commitment to delivering high quality updates in a timely manner. It took some time to get to the point where customers trust these automatic updates, and we're proud of how far we've come. Today Windows Update is one of the largest services on the Internet by several measures, and of course we're using Windows 8 development as a chance to improve the experience of product updates too. This post was authored by Farzana Rahman, the group program manager of our Windows Update group.

Monday, November 21, 2011 [+/-] Microsoft Security Newsletter – November 2011 NOTE FROM THE EDITOR November's Security Newsletter is here! The theme of this month's newsletter is secure virtualization. Microsoft Desktop Virtualization is just the thing that many enterprise customers need. It can help resolve application compatibility issues and provide seamless access to older applications while running them on modern Windows 7-based systems with modern browsers. However, just as a physical desktop or server needs to be secured, so do virtual machines and virtual switches. Virtualization is rapidly becoming more important for many organizations around the world, as the end of support for Windows XP is April 8, 2014. (Can you believe Windows XP was released over 10 years ago? Time flies when you are having fun! Click here for a fun-spirited infographic about some of the cultural shifts over the last decade.) If you are interested in learning how virtualization can help you accelerate your Windows XP migration plans and/or how virtualization can help you with other challenges your organization might be facing, check out these resources: www.microsoft.com/windows/dv http://technet.microsoft.com/windows/dv For resources to help you explore, deploy, and maintain secure virtualization options in your IT infrastructure, check out the Security Guidance in this month's newsletter. November 2011 Edition IN THIS ISSUE • Top Stories • Security Guidance • Community/MVP Update • Cloud Security Corner • This Month's Security Bulletins • Microsoft Product Lifecycle Information • Security Events and Training • Upcoming Security Webcasts Best regards, Tim Rains, Director, Product Management, Microsoft Trustworthy Computing Follow the Microsoft Security Response team on Twitter @MSFTSecResponse for the latest information on the threat landscape.

Microsoft Malware Protection Center Threat Report - Poison Ivy This Microsoft Malware Protection Center (MMPC) Threat Report provides an overview of the Win32/Poison (Poison Ivy) family of malware. Poison Ivy is a malware family whose primary objective is to allow complete control of infected computers in corporate environments. This report examines the background and functionality of Poison Ivy and provides telemetry data and analysis covering the year 2011 until publication. It also discusses how the threat is detected and removed by Microsoft antimalware products and services. Security Practices and the Consumerization of IT Encrypting corporate data and/or segregating corporate data from personal data that might cohabitate on computing devices are becoming aspirational goals for many organizations. Learn why establishing acceptable use policies and increasing awareness of those policies and why good data hygiene is critical, are very effective practices whether your workforce is using mobile devices or desktop PCs. Security Tip of the Month: Simple Security Recommendations When Using Hyper-V As more small to midsize companies consider virtualization solutions, questions about security and virtualization inevitably arise. Microsoft has a few articles on TechNet that outline some of the key aspects of a secure deployment of the Hyper-V virtualization technology, a feature of Windows Server 2008 R2. To complement the guidelines offered in "Planning for Hyper-V Security," Microsoft IT Evangelist Howard Wong offers some additional thoughts and security considerations around Hyper-V. Planning for Hyper-V Security Overall, you should secure the virtual machines running on the virtualization server according to your procedures for securing that kind of server or workload. This document provides best practices to help improve the security of your Windows Server 2008 servers running Hyper-V. Hyper-V Security Guide Find instructions and recommendations to help strengthen the security of computers running the Hyper-V role on Windows Server 2008. This guide covers three core topics: hardening Hyper-V, delegating virtual machine management, and protecting virtual machines. Security Best Practices for Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) Operations Get best practices you can follow to help maintain security when preparing, building, testing, deploying, and managing MED-V workspaces. Authentication of MED-V End Users Get best practices to follow to help maintain security when verifying the identity of MED-V end users. Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Security Guide Familiarize yourself with important information about deployment decisions that can affect the security of your system. This guide provides you with the necessary steps to configure Microsoft App-V security settings to enhance the security of your environment based on the recommendations presented in the downloadable App-V Security Best Practices paper. For those security settings that are specific to Windows, but not to App-V, this guide also offers appropriate links to more information. Using Smart Cards in Windows Virtual PC Learn how you can use smartcards in any virtual machine (VM) created using Windows Virtual PC on Windows 7, just as you use smartcards on Windows 7. While each type of smartcard device comes with its own device driver software, that will need to be installed in the operating system (OS) on which the smartcard reader is being used, smartcards can be shared between the host OS (Windows 7) and the VM, or can be assigned exclusively to VMs. Virtualization: Security Best Practices By Harry L. Waldron, Microsoft MVP – Enterprise Security Virtual resources must be safeguarded using the same principles used to keep Windows and Windows Server secure. Administrators must promptly apply security maintenance to all software components and help ensure the environment is restricted from unauthorized users. Strong corporate policies and security awareness help promote the user's role in the process as well. Read this article for key best practices to help you safeguard your virtual information resources. How to Improve Network Security with Microsoft Solutions By Rodrigo Immaginario, Microsoft MVP – Enterprise Security: Engineering Safeguarding network data and systems is one of the greatest challenges for IT professionals who work in the area of security. Meeting the demands of enterprises is essential. Therefore, it is important to know who your users are and what your network assets are—particularly since remote access, wireless networks, different sites and distributed systems are a reality. Learn how to leverage supported Microsoft technologies to help reduce security risks in your environment.
