Ask Microsoft's Security VP

Posted by Roblimo on from the My-OS-is-better-than-yours dept.

There's always lots of discussion on Slashdot about Microsoft's security problems, and whether Windows is or isn't more secure than other popular operating systems. In a "Let's clear the air" move, Mike Nash, Microsoft Corporate Vice President, Security Technology Unit, has agreed to answer 12 of the highest-moderated questions you submit here. (You can skip the "Microsoft and security in the same sentence?" comments we've all heard 1000 times, and ask actual questions, since Mike is answering for himself instead of having PR do it for him.) We'll post his answers next week.

    What about future versions after that? Hong long until you make billions of PCs obsolete overnight?

    Simple.

    When are you going to start doing your job?

    I hate to be so blunt but WTF?

    A simple Google search of windows internet explorer has as the first two links from Microsoft's website about the product. Seems to make sense.

    The next two links are government warnings about the security of their products.

    So, what are your plans for doing something about Microsoft products?

    (I'm not affected, I don't use them, but many others do).
