Is Microsoft Truly 'Trustworthy'? | |

Be afraid. Microsoft thinks it knows what's best for you. Microsoft Senior Vice President Craig Mundie recently suggested that in the name of security, it may be appropriate to force you to install Microsoft patches or updates, and if that breaks your existing applications, well, it's for your own good. This cavalier and astoundingly risky attitude apparently springs from Microsoft's new homeland-security bandwagon -- what we used to call "national security," before political spin-meisters figured "homeland" would better inspire consumer spending for the new war on terror. | ||
