Submission + - Microsoft Trustworthy Computing Turns 10: What's N (informationweek.com)
gManZboy writes: "Bill Gates fired off his famous Trustworthy Computing memo to Microsoft employees on Jan. 15, 2002, amid a series of high-profile attacks on Windows computers and browsers in the form of worms and viruses like Code Red and "Anna Kournikova."
The onslaught forced Gates to declare a security emergency within Microsoft, and halt production while the company's 8,500 software engineers sifted through millions of lines of source code to identify and fix vulnerabilities. The hiatus cost Microsoft $100 million.
Today, the stakes are much higher. 'TWC Next' will include a focus on cloud services such as Azure, the company says."
