Informationism, Inc. Unveiled
This morning, I spent a bit of time on the phone being interviewed by Matt Hines, a reporter for eWeek. Matt was interested in Microsoft’s battles with the security (software) industry. It seems that Microsoft’s new platform, Vista, contains some new security features. Some security companies are shocked--shocked!--to learn that Microsoft has changed some rules, altered some APIs, and is not delivering technical information as fully or as promptly as they might like.
I put in my two cents--noting that Microsoft might be up to its old tricks, but then again, it might not be. After all, we all want our software to be more secure, even though increased security might mean tougher times for security firms. Furthermore, given Microsoft’s track record, you can bet that any complaints of this sort will earn significant scrutiny. In any event, Matt’s article does quote me.
Two points of note, though:
1. He didn’t use my best line, which arose when I explained antitrust as: “It’s okay to step on someone’s toes, but it’s not okay to kick them in the balls.”
2. I unveiled my new corporate name for the first time in public. Informationism, Inc. is now a reality. Watch for it as I continue to roll it out!
