Apropos: C|Net zamieścił ciekawy komentarz:
13. TOP TEN LIKELY RESPONSES TO THE GATES PIE INCIDENT
It's not every day that the world's richest man gets a pie
in the face. And we would be remiss if we let the Belgian
pie incident go by without a top ten list in its honor. So
herewith, the top ten likely Microsoft responses to Gates'
pie in the face:
10. Microsoft announces that Robert Lessig's fingerprints
were found on the pie plate.
9. Company plans 1999 release of "Visual Pie++ for Windows."
8. Microsoft waffles on release of Belgian version of
Windows 98.
7. Hostess fruit pies removed from Microsoft campus vending
machines (three days later, a hoard of pies is found in
Nathan Myhrvold's office).
6. Bill Gates has pie-proof "Popemobile" built for future
public appearances.
5. From now on, all new Microsoft CD-ROMs will be square,
because Gates "freaks out" when he sees flat circles.
4. New Microsoft game released: X-Wing vs. Pie Fighter.
3. Microsoft buys Mrs. Smiths Frozen Pie Company--and shuts
it down.
2. MS programmers no longer allowed to use value of pi when
programming vector-drawing algorithms.
1. After a lengthy investigation, Microsoft reluctantly
admits that the pie incident was staged by Wagner-Edstrom to
divert public attention from the DOJ hearings.
We are not making this up!

It seems Microsoft was not very amused at my posting of their
advisory to the list the other day. As the copyright holders
of the work they have told me in no uncertain terms that I do
not have their permission to redistribute a text version of
their web page bulletins via the mailing list or the
securityfocus.com web site, and that doing so would be considered
an act of copyright violation.
There you have it. So until Microsoft changes their policy or
changes their email bulletins back to the old format you won't
see them on the list. Of curse the vulnerabilities and their
information will continue to be announced.
They did state that they are continuing to accept feedback from
customers about their new email format. So if you liked better
the old one you may wish to let them know. You can send your
comments to:
secfd@microsoft.com

Nie, to nie do końca tak. MS zaczął ostatnio publikować swoje
zalecenia/komunikaty w formie "kadłubkowej": zamiast treści
wyłącznie URL do komunikatu na stronie WWW oraz podpis PGP.
Spotkało się to z dość chłodną reakcją ludzi na bugtraq (wszak
jest to lista emailowa, a nie "URL digest") i Elias zapowiedział,
że nie będzie wpuszczał na listę tych nowych komunikatów. Zamiast
tego wysłał na listę informację, składającą się z treści komunikatu
umieszczonego przez MS na stronie WWW - i to właśnie spotkało się
ze sprzeciwem MS.
Żeby całkiem wyjaśnić sprawę:
From: Elias Levy <ale@SECURITYFOCUS.COM
Subject: Re: Administrivia: No More Microsoft Bulletins
To: BUGT@SECURITYFOCUS.COM
A quick follow up on my earlier message. It seems a few people
believe I said Microsoft is claiming copyright on the vulnerability
information in their bulletins. That is not the case. Please reread
my earlier message. Microsoft is enforcing their copyright on the
bulletin itself, in its web form in particular. They are perfectly
in their right to ask me to stop redistributing them even if it
seems counter to basic idea of a security bulletin. Still anyone,
myself included, can read the bulletins and reword the information
for our own uses.
Some people suggested that I might have the right to post the
bulletins under the copyright fair use doctrine. I doubt this
as is the copying of a work as a whole. In any case if they don't
wish me to redistribute the bulletins I will abide by their wishes
the same way if I asked someone to stop redistributing my work
I hope they would agree to do so.
Microsoft has a sound reason for wishing to centralize the
repository of their bulletins - so that their customers will
always obtains the latest up to date information. But I believe
the negative factors of such change far outweigh their positive
ones. This is were we disagree.
So please lets keep the conspiracy theories to the minimum. They
are trying to do the right thing - but in the wrong way. I actually
wrote that message while sitting at the Microsoft campus during the
SafeNet summit they put together this week. It was an invitation only
event and Microsoft did not have to invite me. At the very least they
are trying which is more that can be said of many other vendors.
