Gates
Explains How Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing Initiative Is
Going
by
Timothy Prickett Morgan
It's not everyday that I get an email from Bill
Gates, chief software architect and chairman of Microsoft, but it looks
like it might be happening from time to time. Like many people
last week, I got an email from Gates to discuss at length
Microsoft's efforts to improve the reliability and security of
its products, which come under the Trustworthy Computing

other IT suppliers coping with skittish customers still
suffering from a hangover associated with binge IT buying in
the dot-com boom and a bad case of the jitters in the current
economic climate, nonetheless sold a fair amount of stuff in
the second quarter and did better than many Wall Street
analysts expected. However, IBM's Server Group took it on the
