مشاركة: just tech problems
they don't even register as news. Microsoft, the largest software company, is probably responsible for more software vulnerabilities than any other company in the world. For example, just last week the company posted information about critical flaws in the Windows 2000 RAS component, Internet Explorer's (IE's) Gopher technology, and an older Web-related technology in SQL Server. This year, Microsoft announced its Trustworthy Computing initiative, and although the company seems earnest about tackling security head-on, few positive and concrete examples of real progress are available. And although we've been dealing with—and in many cases cursing—the steadily increasing number of problems with Microsoft's software, the company's customers have done little to address the problems.
Until now, that is. A vocal and growing minority of Microsoft's users is starting a call to action, and some have dollar signs in their eyes. Other customers with real buying power, such as various factions of the US government, are complaining directly to Microsoft and threatening to move to rival systems such as Linux if the company doesn't turn around its security woes.
