This is a great step forward in making protection of your PC available for all. In the second half of 2009 we will be releasing code-name Morro that will protect customers from trojans, viruses, spyware, rootkits etc.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The big thing for people to realise that with technology it is always a two part problem, there is the technology and then there is the human element. Hackers etc. are using social engineering tactics to gain the trust of the user to perpetrate hacks and unauthorized access, so we need to also be self aware of this tactic.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;However to make security protection free for all means there is no reason not to have the technical element of your software secure.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10101582-83.html?tag=newsLeadStoriesArea.1"&gt;Microsoft to offer free consumer security suite | Security - CNET News&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9127926" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/archive/tags/Security/default.aspx">Security</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/archive/tags/Windows/default.aspx">Windows</category></item><item><title>PDC 2008 / Agenda / Sessions</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/archive/2008/10/30/pdc-2008-agenda-sessions.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 30 Oct 2008 09:45:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9023823</guid><dc:creator>Matthew Hardman</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/comments/9023823.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/commentrss.aspx?PostID=9023823</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=9023823</wfw:comment><description>&lt;p&gt;Getting out to LA for a Microsoft event is not always the easiest thing for people to do, so great to hear that all of the sessions from PDC are being hosted so you can watch them after the actual event. I remember the last few PDCs where you had to wait a couple of months before you could get the recorded sessions, now they are being released within a day… awesome progress for online media. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;UPDATE: The technology behind this is cool, Silverlight and Streaming means you can easily and quickly jump around the content and video without having to worry about the buffering. Very Cool!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://sessions.microsoftpdc.com/public/timeline.aspx"&gt;PDC 2008 / Agenda / Sessions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9023823" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/archive/tags/Silverlight/default.aspx">Silverlight</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/archive/tags/PDC/default.aspx">PDC</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/archive/tags/Windows/default.aspx">Windows</category></item></channel></rss>
