+Is Symantec's Vista Security Assessment Credible?, Microsoft Watch, February 28, 2007
+
+This paper is nominally about the relationship between Symantec and Microsoft,
+talking about a white paper released by the former.
+But it's quite revealing about Microsoft itself.
+"Even Microsoft... now acknowledges that UAC (User Account Control) -
+Vista's most [high-]profile security feature - is vulnerable to subversion,
+particularly through social-engineering tactics."
+And while the Symantec report says some good things about Vista security,
+"its criticisms are brutal - for their clarity and foreboding:
+
+"Many of the technologies that Microsoft has employed to bolster
+the security of Windows Vista are not new. In fact, most are
+derived from the groundwork originally laid by open-source
+operating systems such as Linux and OpenBSD, the PaX and
+Stackguard projects, as well as numerous academic publications....
+The majority of these technologies first appeared in Windows
+XP SP2 [Service Pack 2]. Windows XP SP2, at the time of its
+release, was also billed as the most secure version of Windows."
+
+So remember, folks, if it's about security, you may well have heard it
+here first, long before Microsoft "invented" it.

+Greylisting with PF, O'Reilly onLAMP, January 18, 2007
+
+This onLAMP article by Dan Langille leads you through the process of
+setting up greylisting using OpenBSSD's pf and spamd, which has now been ported
+to most other BSD systems. The article is
+quite detailed, but readers should ignore the FreeBSD-specific stuff
+like kldload (OpenBSD uses modload, but, OpenBSD always has pf built-in
+so you don't need this). Parts of the article are based on Bob Beck's
+spamd talk at NYCBSDCon.
