Just read this in the Windows Developer Preview - Windows 8 Guide: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Secured boot Secured boot stops malware in its tracks and makes Windows 8 significantly more resistant to low-level attacks.

If the component isn’t correctly signed by Microsoft, Windows will begin remediation and start the Windows Recovery Environment, which will automatically try to fix your operating system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Great news for security. Still not testet and with to little information, but it might look like there will be disk encryption available for all users, even though it still state that Bitlocker are a business

Last night (first day of Build) showed alot of cool features in Windows 8 the client, but great news about the server version was also documented in some of the documentation for the client. On of the realy cool new features are that Active Directory will now take over the role of the KMS server and activate Windows 8 client and its also compatible with Windows 7. Great news, but it did not say anything about Office 2010, yet!. Lots of other stuff will most likely be reveald today

Because of slow baby arrival I was asked to do a SCSM session on tomorrows TechDays in Norway. Looking through the slides its clear the session was demo focused, so I had to reject since I didn't have a lab enviroment for that up and running. But the great news is that I will instead hold a session on Group Policy, Fine-Grained Password Policies, wmi filters and stuff :-)
