Gates outlines next steps for security at MS
At the annual RSA Security conference, held last week in San Francisco, Microsoft chairman and chief software architect, Bill Gates, delivered a keynote address in which he outlined Microsoft's plans to improve product security.
He said that Microsoft was working on future enhancements for safer Web browsing, which included plans for a new version of Internet Explorer (version 7.0) for Windows XP SP2 customers, and the inclusion of anti-spyware technologies at no extra cost for registered Windows users.
"We have looked hard at the nature of these problems and have made the decision that this anti-spyware product will be available at no additional cost to Windows users," Gates adds. "I am very excited that we have this technology, and it really addresses a burning need for our users."
