MS Shooting Itself In the Other Foot?
Client/Server News is a paid industry newsletter that I have read for years.
They are very good in getting the inside scoop of the IT industry, and
worth the $600 subscription per year. They just came out with more data about
paying for security which was recently discussed in an earlier W2Knews issue.
Here is their copy:
"Microsoft apparently hired Zoomerang to do a survey asking people about
updates, daily security patches, Service Packs and the like and how much they
would be willing to pay for them. Obviously MS is intent on repeating its
Licensing 6 mistake and is laying the groundwork to make people pay to remedy
the deficiencies and vulnerabilities in its software just like Microsoft VP
Craig Mundie recently suggested it was up to."
