On the way to Microsoft
I was too busy during these two months to write something here or on forums. But as you can predict currently I have enough time to write some news ;) First we have finally deal with all problems and now our little collective is on the way to Microsoft. That is not a joke :) Since beginning of the 2007 we have a lot of contacts with Microsoft participants from the dev team. They were a really interested in our projects (at this time it was a Rootkit Unhooker and test rootkit Unreal) and they give to us opportunity to join their team. But all what we done this two year was a part of our big project called Secured Eye (SEye), in a two words this is project mix of software/hardware related to distributed calculations and virtualization technologies based on Vanderpool / Pacifica extensions. Not a Blue Pill. To be more correct some parts of SEye can be used as a pill for any kind of Blue Pill variations ;) Currently our collective is partially migrating to Wittenberg located in Germany where we will end our works on SEye. As you can guess all our source code and concept were sold to MS. This was happened in the beginning of November and includes all variants of our test programs, RkU, including last 4.1 version and SEye which is ready on 3/4. But this doesn’t mean that any kind of this code / technology will be used by corporation in near future in commercial products. More likely that no. Just remember - virtualization is a key to future.

Finally I want to greet all peoples who helped us in our little RK/ARK “Invisible War” during last two years, war which is successfully come to a logical end.
