Stepto.com is the personal website of Stephen Toulouse.  I'm otherwise known as "Stepto". 

Ever since joining the Microsoft Corporation in April of 1994 I've pretty much been known by my email name, which is Stepto@microsoft.com. 

Formally, I was the Communications Manager for security response at Microsoft from 2002 to 2006.  I worked alongside a team of great people triaging and investigating and solving reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft software. 

Then, in 2006 I became a senior product manager in the Trustworthy Computing Group, working with security features of our new operating system, Windows Vista, as well as our forthcoming server OS, Codename Longhorn Server.

On August 13th, 2007, I took on a great new challenge by joining our Xbox team working on Xbox LIVE.  More detail can be found here.

From time to time I post thoughts or updates here as a personal blog.  Occasionally, I might talk about work.  That doesn't mean that when I talk about work I'm the official voice of the Microsoft Corporation. These are my unofficial thoughts or ruminations.
