Microsoft's Chief Security Strategist today compared the company's Trustworthy Computing initiative to the race to put the first man on the Moon. Speaking at the UK first e-crime conference in London, Scott Charney raised eyebrows by comparing Microsoft's attempts to develop more secure products with NASA's Apollo Moon landing programme. "I'd equate our Trustworthy Computing programme to Kennedy's pledge at the beginning of the Sixties to go to send a man to the Moon. Both are going to take quite a bit of time," he told delegates.
