IE, Vista, Kids, Kahuna, Messenger
October 12th, 2005
Since I’ve written way too much about Google lately, I thought I’d make a post on Microsoft for once 
IE Security Update
The latest security update for Internet Explorer has been released. This fixes a highly critical memory corruption vulnerability. There are various other updates for Windows - as InsideMicrosoft puts it, “gotta catch ‘em all”.

Kids Programming
Forever Geek reports that Microsoft is teaching kids to program and
speculates the world will soon be plagued by SpongeBob SquarePants
viruses. Apparently they’re encouraging kids to program with .NET
Framework and XML. I wonder if there’s an article about UTF-8,
windows-1252 and other strange character encoding things there
Kahuna
Paul Thurrott has screenshots of the new Hotmail.
More than 300 friends on Messenger?
Messenger Blog
reports you can now have up to 600 friends on Messenger. This used to
be 150 for a long long time and was changed to 300 a while ago. It’s
now been doubled again. I was stuck on 150 for a long long time but I’m
currently around 160. I don’t think I’ll ever reach 600 at this rate
