Two years ago, the Redmond, Washington-based company pledged to make its software products more secure and reliable under an initiative, called Trustworthy Computing, outlined in a companywide memo by Chairman Bill Gates (news - web sites).
This better not speed up the process for them making this Trustworthy Computing legal. That would piss off a hell of a lot of people. |

I'm not really worried about Trustworthy computing because it won't fly for a single reason, the government doesn't like having to have MS signoff on its secret apps. This means either A) a hack workaround for governments will be created or B) MS will create a program that auto-signs things and will issue it to the government. Either way it will leak into the public quickly.
Also, MS will never ever see another dime of mine if they started using trusted computing (not that it will change anything since I don't pay they now).
