Today, I want to talk about something critical to our company’s future: prioritizing security above all else. - Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO of Microsoft
I don’t work for Microsoft, but it is hard for me to belive that security is really the top priority. And this is what my meme is about.
I think it was taken seriously for a while. Gates did it similarly with the trustworthy computing initiative, as well, but they’re all so hell bent of profits that it’s only a matter of time before the directive erodes.
