Microsoft's Critical New Hire
Tim Mullen, 2002-01-21

Bill Gates can demonstrate that his new security push is genuine by choosing the right person to replace Howard Schmidt.

Yup, I'd bet that the columnists at SecurityFocus have an internal contest of who's getting the most comments to their columns...
Well anyway if they were, Mr. Mullen would certainly be among the best contestants.
About Mr. Mullen's comment on how people react to Bill Gates and Larry Ellison speeches on security, I will not agree with him... I have seen a lot of negative feedback to Oracle's "unbreakable" campaign.
I believe that Microsoft has really done some improvements on security... There is a lot more documentation on how to improve security of MS products than before, and the vulnerabilities are acknowledged when they arise.
And about Oracle's "unbreakable" campaign : based on the SecurityFocus database of vulnerabilities, if I wanted an "hard-to-break" database (unbreakable ? please ...), Id' pick Sybase over Oracle, by far...
