Microsoft Code Names 12/31/2003 10:50 PM

Microsoft Codenames: Here's a list of Microsoft software project codenames. EVeryone knows about "Longhorn," there days. And a lot of people know that Windows XP was called "Whistler." Goign further back, a handful know that Windows 95 was code-named "Chicago." But "Impala"? "Starfighter"? "Airstream"?

As anyone who had worked with me in the past will attest to, I'm mildly neurotic about naming my programming projects.

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.

In an effort to protect its intellectual property, Microsoft is warning Internet users not to download the Windows source code that appeared online last week. Microsoft is sending warnings to users who search for its source code on peer-to-peer file-swapping services and is mailing legal warnings to those who have already downloaded the secret programming code, says Tom Pilla, a Microsoft spokesperson. The company has acknowledged the code, spreading on the Internet without its authorization, is genuine if incomplete.

Microsoft to share Office code


Microsoft to share Office code 09/20/2004 10:44 AM
Reuters reports that Microsoft has announced plans to open up the code to their Office suite. Microsoft will share the code with 30 world governments, allowing them to inspect it for “security problems”. The announcement is part of a wider "Microsoft's Government Security Program" launched last year, where 30 governments have been allowed access to the source code of Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows CE and now Office 2003.

Microsoft’s main competitor in many markets is free software. More often than not, it's also open source (i.e. anyone can view the underlying code that makes the programs work). Microsoft programs are generally closed source and are only opened up to select people, often with tight restrictions.

To a certain extent, Microsoft has opened up the code to stay competitive (or ahead of the game) with regard to Open Source software. Asides from this fact, the problems with security and inter-operability with Microsoft programs has prompted the move. Governments often use and need software from a variety of vendors to work together to ensure efficiency. Microsoft hopes the move will restore any faith lost in the past few years; recently, the company has been beaten to some lucrative and high value contracts by Open Source alternatives.
