Consumer Security on the web, information to assist you in practicing safe computing

With all the cloud hype, it’s sometimes easy to forget that “clouds” are just a bunch of servers located in datacenters — whether they be customers’ own, hosters’, or tech vendors’ datacenters.
On January 17, Microsoft will highlight that fact by positioning its new System Center 2012 system-management bundle as key to managing both private and public clouds.

Building Windows 8
An inside look from the Windows engineering team
We wanted to continue our dialog about data storage by talking about the next generation file system being introduced in Windows 8. Today, NTFS is the most widely used, advanced, and feature rich file system in broad use. But when you’re reimagining Windows, as we are for Windows 8, we don’t rest on past successes, and so with Windows 8 we are also introducing a newly engineered file system. ReFS, (which stands for Resilient File System), is built on the foundations of NTFS, so it maintains crucial compatibility while at the same time it has been architected and engineered for a new generation of storage technologies and scenarios. In Windows 8, ReFS will be introduced only as part of Windows Server 8, which is the same approach we have used for each and every file system introduction.
