Microsoft has been touting the charms of its Next-Generation Secure Computing Base (NGSCB), formerly codenamed Palladium, for years. But it may prove to be the classic ‘bait and switch,' as Microsoft continues to pare it down before launch. Among the features Microsoft listed of NGSCB are the ability to create secure compartmentalization of data and applications, the ability to protect data with a secure pathway from the keyboard through the computer, as well as capabilities to complement existing computing and security environments. But recently light has been shed on the actual availability of these features by the time Longhorn launches in late 2006. "With the Longhorn launch we are delivering the first part of NGSCB: Secure Startup," Jim Allchin, Microsoft's group vice president for platforms, told vnunet.com at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) in Seattle.
