Word is leaking code again.... If you do not use symphonie but the Evil
Productivity software you are probably having problems with being the
target of hackers.....
If you do own one of the programs below you might be subject of forgery ......
SO USE IBM SYMPHONY... ITS FREE and it comes with your Notes 8 client or as a seperate download
- Word 2000 Service Pack 3
- Word 2002 Service Pack 3
- Word 2003 Service Pack 2 oder 3
- Word 2007 mit oder ohne Service Pack 1
EVIL Empire is talking of very limited attacks.... yeah sure....
Microsoft is investigating new public reports of very limited, targeted
attacks using a vulnerability in the Microsoft Jet Database Engine that
can be exploited through Microsoft Word.
MS is investigating and take appropriate action (i wonder how much that would be) 
Microsoft is investigating the public reports and customer impact. We
are also investigating whether the vulnerability can be exploited
through additional applications. Upon completion of this investigation,
Microsoft will take the appropriate action to help protect our
customers. This may include providing a security update through our
monthly release process or providing an out-of-cycle security update,
depending on customer needs.
And
the scenario is sooooooo very seldom an limited... hmmmmm i guess it
would be worth some studies on what the definition on limited is.....
In a Web-based attack scenario, an attacker would have to host a Web
site that contains a specially crafted Word file that is used to
attempt to exploit this vulnerability. In addition, compromised Web
sites and Web sites that accept or host user-provided content could
contain specially crafted content that could exploit this
vulnerability. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit
these Web sites. Instead, an attacker would have to persuade users to
visit the Web site, typically by getting them to click a link in an
e-mail message or Instant Messenger message that takes users to the
attacker's site.

Read this article on softwareupdate politics......
I would go one step further.... What if IBM would send you additional
software like Sametimeadvance ore any other part of ther bundle and
than asking you paying for it
that ist hilarious........
The pricing politics of apple where always very strict and i did love
itunes and recently bought me an IPOD. But this lets me think about
moving at least with the player software to songbird or any other software that will do. Any good ideas?

Apple Software Update What
Apple is doing now with their Apple Software Update on Windows is
wrong. It undermines the trust relationship great companies have with
their customers, and that’s bad — not just for Apple, but for the
security of the whole Web. What they did yesterday was to use their
updater for iTunes to also install their Safari Web browser –what
follows is some background and analysis. Keeping software up to
date is hard — hard for consumers to understand what patches are for,
how to make sure they’re up to date. It’s also critically,
crucially important for the security of end users and for the security
of the Web at large that people stay current. If people don’t update
software regularly, it is impossible for them to remain safe; good
software developers are creating improvements constantly. That’s why
Mozilla spends so much time making sure our own Automatic Update
Service works, and why we spend so much time agonizing over the user
interface for the updates. We look at the data every time we do an
update; we obsess about what we call “uptake rates” — the percentage of
Firefox users who are on the most current version of the browser a day
or a week or a month after release. As a result, Firefox users are
incredibly up to date, and adopt very quickly. There’s an
implicit trust relationship between software makers and customers in
this regard: as a software maker we promise to do our very best to keep
users safe and will provide the quickest updates possible, with
absolutely no other agenda. And when the user trusts the software
maker, they’ll generally go ahead and install the patch, keeping
themselves and everyone else safe. Anyone who uses iTunes on
Windows has Apple Software Update installed on their machines, which
does just what I’ve described above: it checks for new patches
available for Apple-produced software on your Windows machine, alerts
the user to the availability, and allows updates to be installed.
That’s great — wonderful, in fact. Makes everyone more likely to have
current, patched versions of Apple’s software, and makes everyone safer. Here’s screen that comes up on Windows XP if you’ve got iTunes installed: 
(photo credit CNET)
The
problem here is that it lists Safari for getting an update — and has
the “Install” box checked by default — even if you haven’t ever
installed Safari on your PC. That’s a problem because of the
dynamic I described above — by and large, all software makers are
trying to get users to trust us on updates, and so the likely behavior
here is for users to just click “Install 2 items,” which means that
they’ve now installed a completely new piece of software, quite
possibly completely unintentionally. Apple has made it incredibly easy
— the default, even — for users to install ride along software that
they didn’t ask for, and maybe didn’t want. This is wrong, and borders
on malware distribution practices. It’s wrong because it
undermines the trust that we’re all trying to build with users. Because
it means that an update isn’t just an update, but is maybe something
more. Because it ultimately undermines the safety of users on the web
by eroding that relationship. It’s a bad practice and should stop. [I’ll
make 2 points that I want to make very clear: (1) this is not a
criticism of Safari as a web browser in any way, and (2) I have no
objections to the basic industry practice of using your installed
software as a channel for other software. This is specifically a
criticism of the way they’re using the updating system. I’d much prefer
to be writing about Firefox, but this practice hurts everyone and is
important to note.]

war is not only being fought on the street by classic beat them a

The

Having a slight problem.
In my opinnion client installation/migration should be able to be performed no matter what client lays underneeth.
So we where, as we are in the migration phase of about 15 000 users
using the 8.0.1 as it came out. After launch of the 8.0.1 german we
installed the german over the english client. That caused problems. The
client refuses to boot up anymore after upgrade. We had that on
multiple machines. With different people performing the update. So no
layer 9 problem
So we finaly ended up opening a pmr with ibm. Below is the anonymized answer we got. How helpfull is that??
Anyone knowing any workarround or how to?
Well i know most of you are english tonges so no need for localized installations....
I apreciate any help....
Hello Mr XXX,
My name is Rxxxx Mxxxxx and I am assigned to pmr 6xxxx,xxx,xxx ' notes client doesn't start after update'.
(1) In the pmr description it mentions that the 8.0.1 English was
installed first and ten the German 8.01 build was installed over it.
Why was this done. Could the German 8.0.1 Client be installed on its own.
(2) Please use one of the Client machines involved and remove the Client ( all clients ) installation from it.
Use this technote as guidance ;

Composite applications framework.
Meeting Professor Nastansky is
alway a highlight no matter where. I actually met him at the DNUG
booth. So we where chatting about how things are with his chair at the
university of Paderborn and his Company (PAVONE). We where talking
about composite applications and the potential within it.
He was
telling me that GCC (Groupware Comepetence Center at his chair with the
uni) is working on something revolutionary new helping to build and
deply composite applications.
I will keep an eye on this
