Hotmail: The Next Generation

May 19, 10 //

Comments Off

The Windows Live team previewed the next version of Hotmail Monday. This release has a foundation on saving time. Attachments, for example, often take you away from your inbox, they require you to wait for a new application or new window to open, one at a time. Hotmail will allow you to see a Silverlight Gallery of attached images or even linked images from Flickr and SmugMug. They have made it possible to send up to 200 photos @ 50MB each in a single email using Windows Live SkyDrive. Hotmail will open Office attachments using the new Office Web Apps right in your inbox, and even links to Hulu and YouTube will play within the email.

Another new feature is the ability to sweep your email removing unwanted mail. This goes beyond spam and into “graymail”, which is mail that you requested, but you really don’t care about. You can also sweep you Gmail and Yahoo! mail accounts.

There are many more features, be sure to check out the Windows Team Blog for more. Our good mate Nic Fillingham will be connecting with the Windows Live team when they get back for a video, so if you have questions please leave them here.

Security Talk: MSF Agile + SDL

April 20, 10 //

Comments Off

Following up on our last intro video for Microsoft’s SDL Process Template, Bryan Sullivan joins us to talk about MSF Agile+SDL, which adds security practices to Team Foundation Server. MSF-A+SDL is a TFS process template that provides Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) guidance into the development framework. The code checked into the Visual Studio Team System source repository is analyzed to make sure it complies with SDL practices. This helps automate the security workflow for things like threat modeling, making sure security items are not missed or skipped.

As usual, this SDL product is free and can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/SDL/, and you can follow the SDL team blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/sdl/.
