A Microsoft Corp. executive last week cleared up what had been a murky Windows Server plan, affirming release dates of 2005 for a product update code-named R2 and 2007 for the next major software release, known as Longhorn. Bob Muglia, senior vice president of Microsoft's Windows Server division, said the company wants to be consistent with the product's release cycle. Plans call for a major release of Windows Server roughly every four years and an incremental update two to two and a half years after each major release, he said. Muglia earlier this year told Computerworld only that Longhorn would emerge no sooner than 2006.

Wall Street analysts expect Microsoft Corp. to post sizable increases in revenue and profit when it discloses results for its fourth quarter and 2004 fiscal year later this week. But given the timing, much of the focus will be on a different figure: the company's cash. Microsoft executives have said they will announce a plan for the cash pile -- which had grown to more than $56 billion at the end of the third quarter -- during or sometime before a meeting with analysts July 29 on Microsoft's Redmond campus. Whether that announcement comes this week or next, the cash is sure to be a central topic Thursday, when the company releases its financial results.

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-050:
Vulnerability in Microsoft Word and
Microsoft Excel Could Allow Arbitrary
Code to Run (831527) 11/13/2003 12:36 AM
A security vulnerability exists in Microsoft Word that could allow malicious code execution. This vulnerability exists due to to the way Word checks the length of a data value (Macro names) embedded in a document. If a specially crafted document were to be opened it could overflow a data value in Word and allow arbitrary code to be executed. If successfully exploited, an attacker could then take the same actions as the user had permissions to carry out, such as adding, changing or deleting data or files, communicating with a web site or formatting the hard drive.
