Mac Security
Well, for those who have spoken to me in the last 4 months, I keep stating that the mass of macs out there is leading up to an attack in some way. Normally followed by 'we use a mac we are secure'
Well try reading
this blog post Really, Macs are able to be
breached. The time is nigh, honestly soon there will be an attack, or an outbreak that will hit the mac community. The point raised (the reason why Macs haven't been attacked is it just isn't worth it due to market share) in the article above are still valid but only just.

EFS
Watch out what you do with
EFS, we have just completed
un-encrypting a small businesses data, after the keys were lost, due to a virus.
Be warned as not every
de-
cryptions work, we had access to everything we needed, and only failed to decrypt 1 file.
If you do use it, export your keys so you can always use them to recover your data.

Windows Vista & Windows Mobile
So you have a nice shiney new computer with Windows Vista. You also have a Windows Mobile device, how do you get them talking.
You will need to download and install Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6 for Windows Vista
You may also need to open TCP port 5721 to allow the device to sync.
Then it should all work.
