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.

    How are we to know that there are not more back doors built into Windows like the GDI back door ? How are we supposed to trust an operating system that has such obvious flaws built-in ?
