Sorry if posted.

I found the last part of this article by Scott Charney from MS similar to what Steven said at the last CC. IMO

What to Expect in 2004

Microsoft is fully committed to the long-term success of the Trustworthy Computing Initiative. This year, we will continue to: collaborate with industry, academia, and governments worldwide to address critical technology trust issues; work to increase standardization of internal development and quality assurance processes companywide; and share practices and development tools to help partners strengthen the security and reliability of their products. We will work to make our products more resilient and to develop privacy-enabling technologies. And we will work to make the customer feedback loop even stronger.

We have made progress toward our goals, but there is still a lot of work to be done. We believe that we have the right vision; what matters now is how that vision is refined and how well we realize it. Ultimately, what matters is not what we say but what we do. It does not matter how well we talk; it matters how well we listen. We have consistently said that there are no quick fixes, that Trustworthy Computing is a long-term initiative. But it is the right thing for our customers, partners, and the public, and that makes it the right thing for Microsoft.
