Ten months after Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates called on company employees to make Windows more trustworthy, a company executive said the initiative is paying off.
Speaking at the software giant's monthly Silicon Valley Speaker series, Craig Mundie, senior vice president for advanced strategies and policy, said that headway has been made in the company's Trustworthy Computing initiative.
Other companies will have to follow suit or potentially lose consumer trust, he said.
"Beyond Microsoft, (trust) will be the defining issue for the industry," he said. "If we want to enjoy the business and results we will have to put our IQ into dealing with this issue."
