Experts: Reliance On Microsoft A Danger To National Security
There are some gems of quotes in here–some of my favorites include:
bq. “Ironically, Microsoft’s efforts to deny interoperability of Windows with legitimate non-Microsoft applications have created an environment in which Microsoft’s program interoperate efficiently only with Internet viruses.”
bq. “I don’t think that Microsoft can ever fix this.”
bq. “When the government uses a product whose monopoly position undermines its security, anti-trust becomes a national security issue.”
bq. –Dan Greer, CTO of @Stake
One other interesting tidbit from the report: Microsoft’s attempt to integrate applications (Internet Explorer, MSN Messenger, Windows Media Player) with the OS has resulted in code that 15 to 35 times more complex.
