Security remains a hot-button issue for Microsoft, as Brian Valentine, senior vice president for the Windows division at Microsoft, took center stage this morning at Windows Server DevCon in Seattle to tout Redmond's new "hardened" approach to software development. According to Valentine, Microsoft has done everything it can to make sure its new server operating system, Windows .NET Server 2003, doesn't fall victim to the same security holes that have plagued the product in the past. During his keynote, Valentine said Windows .NET Server represents a paradigm shift for Microsoft, in that it was "engineered for security."
