Microsoft : We'll Help other vendors find and fix their bugs - Microsoft announced that its security staff would help other companys such as (yahoo, Apple, ect) find glitches and bugs by testing their software. Earlier this year during May and June Microsoft announced its team up with Apple (Explorer vs. Safari) to find bugs. Microsoft Critized Apple's Safari and warned users not to use it until the bugs were fixed. But its not all bad, Microsoft Issued a "Kill-Bit" Update on Yahoo Inc. that disabled an Active-X bug. Or mabey it is bad? Some of the staff members said *"But I can't say we would use Windows Update."*

Yahoo : Root of Smarts? - In less then one day of yahoo adding shortcuts to view information related to the olympics google and microsoft sprang into action. Google added an event pop up ** While Microsoft set up categorys and an xRank System for video's and pictures

SQL Server 2008  - Microsoft had announced to their customers that SQL 2008 would soon be announced and that a fully functional demo is availiable. With the new update come improvements such as ; policy-based management, auditing, large-scale data warehousing, geospatial data and advanced reporting and analysis services, all said by the company. So unless your trying to run a fully based buisness or dont exactly want to get used to the new system, i wouldnt recomend it, I myself am staying loyal to SQL 2005. And for those of you interested in a 180 day software trial (yes the whole thing but for 180 days) then here is the link http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/trial-software.aspx
