The antitrust remedy proposed by a number of states would weaken the security of Microsoft's operating systems and could further the illegal spread of music, movies and other digital content, according to the company's top Windows executive. Jim Allchin, Microsoft's senior vice president for Windows, warned in testimony Tuesday that too much disclosure of technical information in the wrong areas would benefit hackers and create more opportunity for virus attacks. "The more creators of viruses know about how antivirus mechanisms in Windows operating systems work, the easier it will be to create viruses or disable or destroy those mechanisms," Allchin testified. | ||
