Gates challenging the hacker community
:
security
After a long break, I am back.
We had a great time in Brazil. We visited our relatives, our friends, our favorites restaurants...
But... As Dorothy use to say: "There's no place like home"
And I realized that I was born in the wrong country. Brazil is too hot for me.
But... talking about technology, did you read the Bill Gates's Newsweek interview?
From Engadget:
"I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine." Sounds like Bills throwing' down a challenge to me! Release the hounds!
I mean, immediately after the interview, Gates goes back to living under his rock.
Seriously, Windows would also be a lot more secure if it weren't for those 3rd party apps, you know, like Outlook and Internet Explorer.

From Engadget:
What the hell were you (Bill Gates) thinking telling Newsweek that "Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine."?
We understand the few questions preceding interviewer Steven Levy's query about Vista's security compared to OS X's may have gotten you a bit riled up, but let's be honest for a second. We follow this stuff fairly closely and we haven't seen or heard about any globe-trotting worms or prominent security threats to Apple's operating system in quite some time; one of the highest risk threats we've heard about in recent memory turned out to be a hoax. We're glad Vista is enhancing Windows security (and usability), we really are, but we really think you and Jobs and Hodgman should go have a few drinks and just enjoy your filthy richness or something.

I think gates is nearly about to retire... he looks frustrated at how the market has turned out, and how weak Windows has been as the internet has grown stronger.
