Time: 05:42 EST/10:42 GMT | News Source: Reuters | Posted By: Julien Jay

Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates on Thursday said the company's high-profile campaign to improve the security of its software had cost at least $100 million this year, but said the expense was paying off in better products.

That "stand-down" took nearly two months and cost at least $100 million, Gates said on Thursday. "We estimated that the stand-down would take 30 days," Gates wrote in an e-mail sent to more than a million customers who subscribe to Microsoft newsletters and provided to Reuters. "It took nearly twice that long, and cost Microsoft more than $100 million.
