Microsoft has released a work-around tool to ward off attacks that exploit dynamic-link library (DLL) loading vulnerabilities while administrators update affected applications.

Jeanette told me about this and I found this story about it at NEWS.YAHOO.COM on Wednesday.

"Microsoft on Tuesday unveiled a new wireless Xbox 360 controller, which features a new D-pad that transforms from a plus to a disc."

I saw this posted at NEWS.YAHOO.COM.

"Microsoft has launched an advertising platform in China in an attempt to grab market share from rival Google, which has been wrangling with Beijing over censorship, state media said Wednesday."
