Should be Microsoft Secure Code

I agree with a previous reviewer that the title is misleading - it should emphasize that this is primarily a book about not writing non-secure code on a Windows platform.

There are many good tips in the book (which is why it didn't get one star), but for those of us who write code for other platforms (there are other platforms, BTW) it's not nearly as useful.

The final example of non-usefulness are the sample code files. To get them you must download a Windows executable which requires that you click on a button accepting a license agreement; the download will then begin. If you don't happen to be running on a Windows box, no download, no code examples, no nothing. Makes the book way less useful and much more annoying to me.
