Microsoft's New Security Mojo

quote:
Until Microsoft takes a realistic view of security and defines effective real-world ways of improving product security in the present day - such as cleaning up the existing Windows code instead of greedily forcing mass upgrades - its existing customers will be reluctant to adopt a newer version of the Windows product line no matter what the speeches and marketing material promise.


In order to 'fix' their product they would have to write it.  Not steal it from somewhere else and call it their own.  So of course these flaws will just keep on coming!

 
quote:
 Microsoft chairman Steve Ballmer recently said the company's rewards program makes it clear that Microsoft is "taking security seriously." What he meant to say was that it's clear that Microsoft is taking its security reputation seriously. That's a big difference.


Oh, yes ballmer, your searious alright!  About Marketing!     :D
