Open source review would aid Windows security: Gartner | |
|
||
| Time: 04:04 EST/09:04 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||
|
Microsoft should dump security via obscurity, and submit its software to open source review, according to Gartner. The open source review bit is something so utterly alien, communist and horrible to the mind of Bill Gates that it's almost worth us running a competition to find what he'd rather do (Sacrifice of firstborn? Auction mother on eBay? Tell Steve Jobs he was right?) - but actually, Gartner is perpetrating a small piece of sensationalism by saying it agrees with Gates about security, "and believes that open source review of Microsoft's code is necessary to meet security goals." Which is not the same as saying this is what Bill believes, but they had us going for a moment there. Gartner contrasts the assertion by Jim Allchin, Microsoft's senior vice president for Windows, that Windows boxes would be more vulnerable to attack if the company had to disclose technical information to rivals with previous pronouncements by his Billness. | ||
