Thanks to all of you who have provided excellent feedback on the new Microsoft Application Security website.

I should start by saying we have a long list of actions based on your input. To my frustration...because of course these things take time...or so I am told...you will see the requests implemented gradually over the up coming months as part of the ongoing website refreshes.

Please do stick with us...we'll get their in the end and your input and dedication to the website will really help.

I'll make sure I keep my blog updated with the latest news and relevant information related to the website.

Please...Please...Please keep clicking around. Below is a brief overview of the website and what to expect each month:
