Microsoft takes 'Palladium' on tour
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft is hitting the road with a demo of its much debated Next-Generation Secure Computing Base (NGSCB) in an effort to persuade more people of the merits of the security initiative. First shown at the Microsoft's Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) in New Orleans in May, the demo will now go on a small tour. Microsoft will bring it to its Mountain View, Calif., campus for two days and to New York for two or three days, said Mario Juarez, NGSCB product manager at Microsoft.
"We do this because we know we are dealing in these particularly hot arenas of security and privacy and that we need to spend a lot of time addressing this topic," said Juarez. "We are not building this engine that is taking control of people's computers, or whatever fantasy people spin."
