Gates Says Security Is Job One For Vista

Computer security measures represent Microsoft's biggest investment in the development of its upcoming Windows Vista operating system, Bill Gates told an audience of cyber-security experts at the RSA Conference 2006 in San Jose Tuesday.

"Happy Valentine's Day," Gates said. "My other invitation was to go quail hunting with Dick Cheney."

The computer industry's dreams of putting more of people's work lives and entertainment into digital form can only be realized if computer companies build software that's not only secure against attacks meant to steal data and hobble networks, but simple enough for users to understand and take advantage of security measures. "That means a lot of invention, a lot of improvement, from where we are today," said Gates.

Didn't Gates say that same thing about XP?

Oh, my bad, those were the back doors that Bush wanted installed so he can see what we do with our computers.

Big Brother is watching!
