Microsoft : Craig Mundie
"Microsoft 'may offer new security abilities on a paid basis,' according to
the company's chief technical officer Craig Mundie. The possibility is under
consideration within Microsoft's security business unit, recently set up
under its own vice president, Mike Nash...
"Asked why it has taken Microsoft 25 years to get trustworthy computing into
the forefront of its efforts, he said: 'Because customers wouldn't pay for it
until recently.' Admitting this was a flippant answer to a flippant question,
Mundie said that chief information officers had only recently begun to demand
security, and it is only in the last ten years that Microsoft has attempted
to play in the security-requiring worlds of banking payroll and networked
systems..."
