Windows users said actions speak louder than words when it comes to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's promise that Microsoft will fix the various security vulnerabilities in his company's computing platform.
"Trust is not a word that I would use" in relation to Microsoft's promises on security, said Paula Dallabetta, director of product marking at CreekPath Systems Inc., a storage management software producer based in Longmont, Colo.
"People always joke that Microsoft has set the bottom bar in terms of security," she said. Dallabetta said she might begin to trust Microsoft "with the delivery of a product that actually works."
Security? Windows? That doesn't work in one sentence. Their hyped SP2 didn't stop the security problems at all... new exploits for IE have been discovered.
