Gates Sets Schedule For Security Improvements

CRN reports (thanks to InformationWeek) that Bill Gates believes that businesses should see a 180-degree improvement in the security of their Windows software environments within eight months.

Although Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing initiative is a multiyear effort, Gates says bug-weary customers will get relief in months, not years.

During an interview with InformationWeek, Bill was even quoted as saying: "By the middle of next year, I think even our critics would say, 'Wow, they've really turned this patching thing around...This is night-and-day different. This is not a big problem for us'".

Guess we will find out... in 8 months.
