10 Years of Trustworthy Computing at Microsoft
Before joining Microsoft a little bit more than 10 years ago, I ran a team at PricewarehoureCoopers on e-Business Risk Management – classical security consulting in the Internet bubble time. When I announced that I will leave PwC and join Microsoft, I got interesting reactions (and remember, this was 2001). Mainly they were along two lines: Oh, you are joining a desktop company? ...

Why I do not like e-Voting (Part 2) By Roger Halbheer, on September 9th, 2008 As you might know, I blogged on e-Voting recently (Why I do not like e-Voting) and got quite some reactions. A few here but most of them privately. Most of you seem to like e-Voting. Now, think again! Look at this article here Evaluating the Security of Electronic Voting Systems.

If you are (like me) not to go to install QuickTime, the video is on YouTube (Part 1, Part 2).
Have fun and re-think your view on e-Voting. The reason why I am so pushy on that is, that I think that voting is in the heart on every modern democracy
