Older systems were secure because they were isolated. You can't layer on top of a system elements to make it secure; you get too much of a mismatch between the components. This design approach is absolutely critical--thinking these things through from the beginning and not bringing security in at the end is very important. This has been a big shift for Microsoft.
Security is one of the few things that, if we don't do it right, could take this vision I have talked about and really hold it back,
There is information out in the Internet, out in the cloud, that could be working on your behalf, ... .NET as a platform for next generation Internet integrates privacy, security and puts information where you want it. The user experience will become a lot richer and put the user back in control.
If you look at our investment in the next version of Windows, security would jump out as the thing we've spent the most time on. Microsoft has a big responsibility here.
As a leader in the computing industry, Microsoft has a responsibility to help its customers address these concerns, so they no longer have to choose between security and usability. This is a long-term effort.
avoid the kinds of security problems people have had.

The time is really now to change these things. That's true from the point of view of the relationship between the rich world and the poor world, it's true from a security point of view, an economic point of view. ... We're hopeful that the U.S. and other governments will see this as a turning point,
This will continue, ... They'll have a new version, we'll have a new version. It's a healthy competition that you expect in the computer software market.
The phone is very different. The idea of a meeting is very different.
We lusted after some of those things (Palm) did well, and we wanted to combine it with the things we did well. It's wonderful to see those things come together.
