Windows: Security Is Suddenly Job One | |

Microsoft (MSFT ) has always promoted new versions of Windows by talking up features designed to make computer use easier and more fun. The prosaically named Windows XP Service Pack 2 is starkly different. While it amounts to a major release in size and scope, it could also be called the cod liver oil of software upgrades: nasty but good for you. | ||

parkker, in which sentence does the author of that entry say anything about rewriting IE?
IE for SP2 was *not* rewritten. They did not throw all their code away and start over. They made enhancements to the code that was already there, and changed the default behavior of that code under certain conditions. That's not a rewrite. |

Parkker, I think you are quite correct - a short name, XP2 vice XP SP2 seems more applicable. This is a very different OS - top to bottom and inclusive of IE.
Here's a sick one...one often now hears, "IE now FINALLY has a pop-up blocker..." <Usually followed by a comment regarding its lack of tab'd browsing...> However, one does not see any kind of even rudimentary analysis, much less scientific assessment about the new browser and the very substantial differences in its "pop-up blocker" vice all others. Enter the ActiveWin Challenge... "What are these differences and why are they so meaningful; what do they signify?" It will take a little looking under the hood to fully describe these differences, but they are meaningful and reveal just how much thouht and effort went into IE and SP2. |

| Well, if there is a more "Discoverable" operating system out there - including how it helps users manage security, I'd like to see it. The Task Based centricity of Windows, where discoverable sessions guide users through desired actions does not get the attention or credit that it deserves. Windows, even with its new security features, does a great job of informing users and assisting them as they perform tasks. Many OS'es, despite some similarity, are far less discoverable. I think this is one area where Microsoft software really differentiates itself from others. Microsoft spends a great deal of time providing for this, which does increase the ease of use and improve the experience users encounter. As complex as some of the new security features are, they have been made quite easy for even novice users to understand. Many users won't have any idea what a Master Cookie ID is, or how to test whether items they have placed on their clip-boards can be read from a system's win.ini file; however, XP2 doesn't require that they know these details - its just fixes them and keep them appropriately informed. |

This does not mean, necessarily, letting down your guard and pouring your heart out about how much you love your grandmother. Your topic will also influence how personal or professional you want to come across in your style. Anything that wouldn't be appropriate to say to a client in person or in an email shouldn't be included on a business blog.
