Today Billy Gates gave a speech and talked about new developements being made by Microsoft for security.
quote:
Microsoft publicly demonstrated a new Windows Security Center for the first time. "It centralizes many security settings previously available in unrelated parts of the system," Gates said.
I wonder how long before this Windows Security Center is found to ironically be unsecure.
quote:
Gates urged developers to take advantage of the next version of Visual Studio, Whidbey, to permit users to install and run applications without having to have administrator privileges.
Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldnt that be the most unsecure thing imagineable? Someone please explain that to me.

"Over the last two years, I think we've made a lot of progress," Gates told attendees on Tuesday at the RSA computer security conference in San Francisco, since the company launched its Trustworthy Computing initiative in 2002.
Oh yea, you've definately made a lot of progress over the past two years. So much that last year was probably the worst and most humiliating year of Microsoft's existence. (See

My, and I bet you're gonna call that "innovative". Especially since it took you about two years to do this after every other browser in the world has already done it.
