As usually great comments, but something's missing, don't know what :(

Every time I've had these kind of delays, I just shut off Defender and they go away.  Not quite as scientific, but there you go!

Although I understood about 1% of that, it's
good to have you back!!! Microsoft has a 'new
foundation' with you two guys there!!!

OT but, the links to https images on this blog sucks, Opera and Firefox doesnt have the certificate

When I encounter any strange problems like this, before doing any investigation, I do the following:

1) Remove any products from Symantec
2) Remove any anti virus or anti spyware products
3) Remove anything from Novell

I find I rarely get to step 3!

nice article to read :)

Another nice detective story.
Thanks Mark.

Great article.
A small comment on the blog itself though.
Why are all the images .aspx pages (rather than .gif, .jpg etc.)? It prevents my RSS/Atom -> Outlook converter from getting them ;-(

What's that cmd.exe font?

Mark, I am frequently humbled by your blog posts.  I'm fairly good with Windows and I have a basic idea of what makes it work.  However, my knowledge doesn't even compare to yours.  Keep up the good work.  MS is lucky to have you...whatever they are paying you, it isnt enough!

Mark's Blog: I’ve been extremely busy here at Microsoft and so haven’t had time to blog until now, but

More great Windows sleuthing, Mark.

I am not worthy!
