        <description><![CDATA[<p>This is interesting to me anyways.</p>

<p>it seems the malware injects code into a DLL that an IIS feature called Failed Request Event Buffering (FREB) uses when troubleshooting failed requests.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I watched Satya Nadella video talking about it, then came pricing leak</p>

<p>“ The company showed a screenshot that mentioned a monthly subscription of $31 (roughly Rs. 2,300) for the configuration that comprises two CPUs, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB storage. It will be a part of the Windows 365 Business option that is meant for businesses with fewer than 300 users.”</p>

<p>What have you been able to gather about it so far? Do you think it is an also ran (Hello, Zune and windows smartphone) or a game changer?</p>

<blockquote><div>
  <p><strong>Microsoft says it will stop supporting Windows 10 in 2025, as it prepares to unveil a major revamp of its Windows operating system later this month.</strong></p>
  
  <p>When Windows 10 was launched, Microsoft said it was intended to be the final version of the operating system.</p>
  
  <p>But from 14 October 2025, there will be no new updates or security fixes for either the Home or Pro versions.</p>
  
  <p>And Microsoft says its successor will represent one of the "most significant updates" to the OS in the past decade.<br />
  [...]<br />
  <strong>Mr Nadella and chief product officer Panos Panay will launch the new OS at a virtual event on 24 June</strong>, with Microsoft now facing stiff competition not just from Apple but also from Google.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Not sure how many Windows users there are around here but Microsoft released patches yesterday on three very high-rated vulnerabilities.</p>

<p><a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-24074" rel="nofollow">https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-24074</a><br />

<p>All are with a CVSS Base Score of 9.8<br />
two are remote code execution and one Denial of Service.<br />
Affects ALL Windows versions. Those of you who are still on Server 2003 and 2008.... UPGRADE!</p>

<p>please, patch as soon as possible or this could get ugly in a near future.</p>
