I'm very aware that finding stuff on Microsoft.com isn't as easy as it should be (some of our competitors search engines are better at finding content on our website than we are) - this can't be right. It will get sorted, it has to get fixed. Microsoft is putting a lot of time & effort into getting our search products to be world class. Have another look at http://search.msn.com and compare the results with your current favourite search engine - we're getting better. Then have a look at our Desktop Search tool http://www.microsoft.com/windows/desktopsearch/default.mspx (for enterprises) and http://toolbar.msn.ie/ (for consumers). I use Desktop Search and it's brilliant - it must save me loads of time during my day to day work. If your company uses SharePoint Portal Server then you already know how good our search technology can be.
Anyway, back to what I can do - I'm in the process of putting together a "sign post" (for want of a better description) to the best of our Security advice & guidance, tips & tricks, tools & downloads. My intention is to use our "Defence in Depth" model (picture below) as the front end. Each layer will have links to useful info for our different audiences (Consumer, Small Business & IT Professionals). e.g. The "Host" layer would have links to tools to help with updating Windows (Microsoft Update for Consumers, WSUS for Small Business & SMS for IT Pros) as well as the best practice procedures and guidance. I'm kind of doing this as a background task, but a few people inside Microsoft Ireland have gotten wind of what I'm doing, so now it has to be finished asap. I "should" have it done in a week or so, so watch this space...
Oh, if this already exists please tell me - don't want to re-invent the wheel.
Dave.
