Longhorn may trample portable devices | |

| Time: 11:30 EST/16:30 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim | ||

For years, programmers at Microsoft Corp. and elsewhere have worked to make it easier for devices like cellphones and personal digital assistants to work instantly and easily with computers. Now, Microsoft is working to make it a little harder. The reason: As such devices including Apple Computer Inc.'s popular iPods become capable of holding more data, some worry people could use them to steal data or unleash virus attacks on business networks. With its next version of Windows, dubbed Longhorn and due out in 2006, Microsoft is working on technology that will give companies more control over whether to prohibit devices that can easily be used to transfer data to and from personal computers, said Greg Sullivan, a lead product manager. | ||

I cant wait to hear all these people when Longhorn finally ships. What will they say when all their tired excuses go out the window (sorry).
What will they say when MS finally put some security logic behind the things they do and things actually get better. A very large percent of problems go away when companies put some thought into the things they do. When will they relaize that it is THEIR network and the computers connected to them are not PERSONAL COMPUTERS but rather company owned workstations that CAN be managed? I think that IBM(?) comercial says it all: the CEO yelling at some peon about some stupid little virus only to find out that his little girl installed FORIENG EXCECUTABLE CODE FROM SOME UNTRUSTED SOURCE!!! Most hackers would kill to get access to the PC of the CEO (and now they have) The real problem is obviously little girls not Bill Gates or Microsoft! Cant you see that! I can not believe that I still have to argue about why spending some money to get everyone up to date on XP workstations and 2000 or 2003 domains is a good thing! They just dont get it. And with most of these tired old fist generation Windows admins failing to update their skills, this is what we will have to keep putting up with- blaming MS because thats the norm. may they all get hacked to death on your equaly un secured Linux crap (after spending a week or two to get it to actually do something useful)- and of course those devices wont actually work with Linux either but for diffrent reasons... .. if you can first get your mind together, then come on across to me. but first are you experienced... |
