Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing Initiative: Users Are Losers (Opinion) | |
|
||
| Time: 04:39 EST/09:39 GMT | News Source: Yahoo News | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||

As Microsoft embraces a corporate-wide Trustworthy Computing initiative, more people are finding themselves on the losing side of a relationship. Bill Gates (news - web sites) last year sent a memo to staff and customers laying out Microsoft's mission to make Windows software more trustworthy. But the time, money and people required to apply security patch after patch after patch shows that Redmond has a long road to hoe to fix their problem -- if, in fact, they can fix it at all. It's ironic that a recent Internet worm that crashed hundreds of thousands of computers running Windows included computer code with the phrase: "Billy Gates why do you make this possible? Stop making money and fix your software." It's even more ironic that tech specialists at companies spent hours installing a patch, only to learn that the worm ultimately caused infected machines to attack Microsoft's patch update page -- for the express purpose of crashing it. | ||
