Microsoft is serious about improving the security and reliability of its software and operating systems, but the jury is out on how successful it will be.
Andy Kellett, senior research analyst at Butler Group, said, 'Improved security has been a serious message now for two years and it continues to be a serious message.'
With only one major product released since Microsoft began its Trusted Computing initiative three years ago, it is difficult to assess the company's performance.
But the indications from Windows 2003 Server are encouraging, said John Pescatore, vice-president for internet security at analyst firm Gartner.
