“Bill Gates’ drawdown of daily influence at Microsoft, the company he co-founded more than 25 years ago, won’t alter its course on security, analysts said Friday.”
This is from this story at Searchsecurity.com. Ummmm, ok. Did anyone think it would? Microsoft is actually being taken halfway seriously on security for the first time ever. Why would they think about changing that strategy? They have the power and the money to back up their security initiatives. They are going to be a major player in this market, no matter what anyone says.
The juggernaut has started foward momentum, people. Get used to it.
Another quote says:
It isn’t like Gates got hit by a bus. He’s still very much there for the next several years; he’s just signaling that the day will come when he won’t be, and planning an orderly succession.
This came from Jonathan Eunice, founder and principal IT advisor at Nashua, N.H.-based consultancy Illuminata Inc. Exactly! And he will still be plucking the strings of MSFT for years after he “steps down”.
