Reason for this re-post of old story from last year is that there has been some dialog within usenet regarding this statement from MS and where rather many denied that this statement was done. So finding an image that proofs this statement makes it's so much more fun to post <grin>.Also found following statement at cnetnews:
The company "may offer new security abilities on a paid basis," Microsoft Chief Technical Officer Craig Mundie said here at this week's RSA Conference on tech security. Such a possibility is one of many under consideration within Microsoft's security business unit, recently set up under its own vice president, Mike Nash.
Old news, but seems that rather many companies has already accepted above. Ok, I'm running OS2, so why should I care; well, if this goes into a facts that keeping this kind of information as a secret I think that there would not be any winners in the longer perspective. Already today there is indication from companies that they don't bother to reports bugs and security issues since there is no proper response from Microsoft.
