Viewpoint: Windows Server 2003 security

I'll take Ballmer's comment one step further. The operating system is generally available now, and pre-release deployment has been rapid, according to Microsoft. Nonetheless, the vast, vast majority of the installed base of Windows systems is older software developed under Microsoft's pre-Trustworthy Computing product development philosophy -- liberally paraphrased here as, "pack it with as many new features as possible and enable most of them by default." It will be several years before Trustworthy Computing-inspired server operating systems account for even half of the installed base, and a few years longer on the client side. And that's assuming Microsoft continues, as I believe they will, to prioritize security over features for the long term.
