Richard Clarke on Microsoft security

hizzo writes "Richard Clarke, former White House cybersecurity and counterterrorism adviser, harshly critized Microsoft's security track record. 'Given their record in the security area, I don't know why anybody would buy from them.' He also called for some regulation of security for ISPs in addition to better industry self-regulation, such as disclosing QA practices and becoming more accountable for secure code. I wonder if anyone will finally start listening to him?"

    could you please be more specific. when and where did he let Osama go? If you are going to make such charges, you better have some proof or at the very least some credible sources. I believe it was the Bush administration who didn't heed Clark's warnings nor read his reports. Maybe we should have elected a president who likes to read!
