right.
Early this year I attented a MS presentation on MS's plans for the
time to come, by some sales people.
Seems that Bill has set his mind on "Trustworthy Computing", as was
the buzz frase.
Computing (with MS of course) had to become more trustworthy.
Means that it is not right now. Means that Bill knows he has a BIG
problem.
MS policy has always been, to add features/problems (I have
worked/played with Windows 1.0 or something in that neighbourhood)
As anyone who has read even a thin book on computer security, we know
very well, that the first step towards a more secure system is to
strip out unneeded "features".
So, historically, MS and security don't go together well.
MS has things to prove. Untill then, I'll stay sceptical.
