Longhorn's lengthy security wish list | |
|

| Time: 10:29 EST/15:29 GMT | News Source: *Linked Within Post* | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||

We have yet to see which security features will ultimately be built into Longhorn, but attendees to the recent Microsoft TechEd conference in Orlando, Fla., had expectations set high for the software giant's next version of Windows operating system -- and what Microsoft has announced comes up against mixed reviews. "The little bits I'm hearing about Longhorn I do like, but I'm not hearing a whole lot," said Roland Gaines, a desktop administrator who deploys and supports 300 local and remote workstations for Regions Financial Corp., in Tyler, Texas. "We need to reduce admin time on little things." For example, he explains that training end users over the Web often requires new Java updates that his team has to remotely install if the user does not have admin privileges. "It takes a lot of time," he said. | ||

What a waste of an article.
First of all, the guy who's complaining about deploying Java needs to realize that he's not really talking about a security issue, he's talking about a deployment issue. If his company doesn't have a good deployment story using SMS or Group Policy or any other deployment tool, it's not going to get any better for him. Saying that this is a security problem because users can't install the software themselves is rediculous - it shouldn't be up to the user to install their own software. Actually - a lot of the things listed in the article aren't really security related - they just *touch* on security as a symptom, not a cause. Oh, and the last guy who's talking about pulling features. Dude... you're complaining about Enterprise level features being pulled from Windows ME... It wasn't an enterprise-level OS. Get a friggin clue. |
