Dailydave: Some recent articles

Some recent articles

I don't know how many of you have seen this:

I think it's interesting especially in the context of this:

You can see a few players out there wishing there was a way to
"regulate" more, of course. It's funny, because if what they wanted was
security, they would just stop installing their applications on Windows,
and use GRSec instead. What they really want is "free security" which is
different. Basically, the cost of ownership of Windows (despite all
their recent work) is so high that people should really only use it as a
platform if security is not a concern, is what the government is trying
to say.

Of course, I fully expect that Microsoft will say that what really needs
to be regulated are those pesky researchers.
