Microsoft Could Do More: Windows Update as a Hosting Service | |
|

This could be the first in a series of probably intermittent columns on things Microsoft should be doing. It's important to note that starting a few years ago Microsoft finally got religion on security, and it does a heck of a lot for its customers and the community at large. But it could do more. One important thing the company could do that would benefit just about everyone is to vastly expand the role of Windows Update to support third-party applications. It's a dangerous thing to do and it's easy to see Microsoft execs thinking that all it does is help the competition. The truth is that it will help everyone, Microsoft included, by making Windows systems safer in general. | ||
