A year ago today, Microsoft Chairman
and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates delivered a rare, company-wide
memo that outlined a concept he called Trustworthy Computing -- a
call-to-action to improve the experience of Microsoft customers regarding
what Microsoft has come to call the "four pillars" on which that concept
is based: security, privacy, reliability and business integrity. Although
Microsoft had been working towards this goal for several years, customer
feedback told the company that it needed to do a better job. Read an update from the key executives.
