NSA Is Giving Microsoft Some Help On Windows 7 Security

[Computer Hope Admin]

The National Security Agency has been working with Microsoft Corp. to help improve security measures for its new Windows 7 operating system, a senior NSA official said on Tuesday.

The confirmation of the NSA's role, which began during the development of the software, is a sign of the agency's deepening involvement with the private sector when it comes to building defenses against cyberattacks.

Interesting. I'm glad to know computer security is getting this kind of attention and support from government agencies.

Now if things get bad at MS we will be bailing them out.

Times are tough, but NASA never seems to be effected.

Sorry... /rant

Of course I have a hunch that the 'help' the NSA is giving them will only make it easier for the NSA to access our data.

Hang on a minute, some guys in suits are at my door.

Yea and I misread NSA as NASA. I should wake up before ranting.
