Microsoft To Reveal Windows Code! |

Tech giant attempts to woo governments...
SEATTLE (AP) --The source code Microsoft Corp. has long guarded as secret intellectual property is now becoming the carrot dangled before governments to keep them from defecting to competitors' software.
Microsoft on Tuesday announced a new program to make the underlying code for its Windows operating system available to several governments and governmental agencies for viewing.
The software company has already signed agreements with the Russian government and NATO to allow them to review for free the underlying programming instructions that Microsoft has long guarded as secret intellectual property.
The decision will let governments evaluate for themselves the security of the Windows platform, Microsoft said. It also will give them the technical data they need to develop their own secure applications to work atop Windows.
Rest inside.
_________________________________________
Competitive tactic?
The announcement comes as government agencies in Japan, France, Germany, China and the United States are looking into or adopting competitors' software, including open-source Linux-based systems. Unlike Microsoft's proprietary software, the underlying code for open-source code software can be downloaded free, improved and redistributed.
"It's a brilliant maneuver," said Michael Gartenberg, research director for Jupiter Research. "It gives them a huge (public relations) win, gives them a response back to the open-source folks and also provides the impetus that many of the government organizations have been looking for to continue doing business with them."
The "Government Security Program" is similar to Microsoft's "shared-source" program, introduced in 2001, in which it makes some of its source code available on a limited basis to clients and technology partners.
'Fully aware of the risks'
Microsoft has a list of more than 60 countries and organizations with which it would consider signing agreements, including China, France and the United States, said Salah Dandan, the program's worldwide manager. The Redmond, Washington-based company said it is confident governments will respect Microsoft's intellectual property and isn't worried about piracy or other infringements, he said.
"The basic business decision that we decided to make here is that Microsoft is willing to trust governments and willing to partner closely with them," Dandan said. "We are fully aware of the risks, but cognizant that this program will help strengthen relationships with governments around the world."
The program covers Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows CE and Windows Server 2003, due for release in April.

(User Info | Send a Message) http:// | | Sounds like Mr Gates has finally hit the wall with his programmers... "I give up... can anyone else show us where we went wrong with this code". After charging everyone a shitload of dollars for a shitty product full of bugs that "promised" everything, methinks Mr Gates "may" have developed a sense of responsibility... or is this just a matter of; "F**k it, I've made a squillion dollars.... maybe I'll try screwing the general public with something else". This little black duck remains very wary of the peace offerings... methinks they smell of arsenic :) |

(User Info | Send a Message) | There has never been only one option in what to buy. There has always been linux or windows and for the people to choose the easier to use software then that is their choice. People want the easy way out in everything and for them to complain on if there are faults in the easy way then go the hard way and actually do something. i've taken the easy way and I ***** about windows also but all software has bugs and if you look at the complexity of windows and you try and write something similar to it without bugs. there is no way that this product can't have bugs even after years and years of testing...they have to update everything over and over again. just my opinion i guess.
