InfoWorld published an article titled “Pigs fly! Microsoft leads in security” on Friday, June 19, 2009. they also quote other articles published on SANS, CNET, and ComputerWorld. I never thought I would see this type of article in the mainstream press even if it is true.

Some Notable Quotes from the article:

  • “Many of the world’s most knowledgeable security experts are urging their favorite software vendors to follow in the footsteps of Microsoft.”
  • "Microsoft becomes high priest of secure software development." – CNET
  • “As an industry we should recognize the sea change in Microsoft’s approach to security… and encourage other vendors to follow Microsoft’s lead." — SANS NewsBites
