Bill Gates M/S (1/15/2002): “Trustworthy Computing”

• Trustworthiness is a fundamental challenge that spans entire computing ecosystem, from individual chips to global Internet services

  • Availability: System outages should become a thing of the past because of SW architecture that supports redundancy and automatic recovery
  • Privacy: Users should be in control of how their data is used
  • Security: should be easy for developers to understand and build into their apps

• 7000 M/S programmers stop development for February 2002 to get special security training
