Experts: Microsoft security gets an 'F'

SAN FRANCISCO, California (Reuters) -- Computer security experts say the recent "SQL Slammer" worm, the worst in more than a year, is evidence that Microsoft's year-old security push is not working.

"Trustworthy Computing is failing," Russ Cooper of TruSecure Corp. said of the Microsoft initiative. "I gave it a 'D-minus' at the beginning of the year, and now I'd give it an 'F."'

The worm, which exploited a known vulnerability in Microsoft's SQL Server database software, spread through network connections beginning January 25, crashing servers and clogging the Internet.

Still, he is heavily involved with the current activities. Besides, he's the founder.

Bill Gates is the Chairman and Chief Software Architect of Microsoft Corp.

Being a Chief Software Architect clearly means that he is heavily responsible for all of the Windows OSs that we get.

He is probably the biggest stockholder by the way.
 
"Gates, now 44, holds a 15.3 percent stake in Microsoft that is worth close to $90 billion. He is the richest person in the world."

If there were more users on Macs...it would be the same case of a SQL slammer worm..but however, Macs don't have plenty of server softwares. Just workstation eye candy stuff that isn't worthwhile to hack around on...
