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? ...
10 Reasons to migrate off Windows XP
I would like you to sit back, close your eyes and think about the year 2001. Think about how you used technology back then, how you used the Internet.

Raid against Piracy By Roger Halbheer, on June 22nd, 2010 There seem to be policy organizations being serious about fighting piracy! Hungary, actually with 41% pirated software “not even that bad”, seems to be really serious. But before, let me just take those 41% up for a second: This means that 41% of the work you do is stolen. I think a significant negative impact to the economy.
Anyway, the Hungary police just ripped a huge BitTorrent network apart: Police Raids Tear Apart Hungarian BitTorrent Scene. As I understand, this does not really target the software market but the entertainment industry, but still, they seem to be fairly serious. Besides the servers they seized, this is to me a very strong signal towards people using pirated copies that this is not just cool but a real criminal act.
Interesting to see how this will move on.
Roger
