| From: James Knott via talk <[email protected]> | | What's this? Microsoft developing a Linux based OS?? | | https://www.techrepublic.com/article/microsoft-says-its-new-linux-based-os-will-secure-iot-devices-for-a-decade/?ftag=TRE684d531&bhid=12825460 | | It's amazing the changes at Microsoft, since Bill & Steve left.
If they can deliver what they promise, it's a very interesting offering. Most embeded software is "fire and forget". As a customer, one cannot expect support longevity in IoT devices these days. But it is really important. Not many companies could make that 10 year promise believable. I wish it were from a more disinterested company. I currently have this queued in my MP3 player: "(In)Security in Home Embedded Devices" <https://cyber.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2014/06/gettys> Still fresh after four years. I got to it from Getty's blog: <https://gettys.wordpress.com/> --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
