Comments on: Microsoft still tinkering with 'secure' design

The software giant warns developers at its WinHEC conference that changes continue to be made in the security technology component of next-generation PCs.

Security measures are not the issue.

You can't secure poorly written and designed code. No hacks are attacking any security related areas. They are hitting holes that Microsoft's trashy attempt at an OS is full of. After all the patches and it still is going to need a 300MB SP. Microsoft should pay the cost to reimburse companies for the damages caused by every exploited flaw and then pay to clean the Internet. They should not have sold a product with so many defects as are found in XP. This is FRAUD as what they told the consumer he was getting and what was actually sold to the consumer are not the same. This is considered criminal in any other industry. THIS is where the focus needs to be and not on another unfulfillable dream that Bill Gates is living in!!!

Microsoft should be forced to ...

put a warning label on their software as to the potential dangers that come with using the software.

MS trusted???

If I want a trusted PC, I definitely would keep MS as far away as possible...

For the past two days I've been doing nothing but looking at all kinds of logging looking for possible Nasser, Bagle, ... infections on PCs that slipped through our security measures (e.g. SUS seems to be doing only half the job it is supposed to do). And fortunatly we don't have domains of active directory ...
So don't tell me to trust MS.
