Does anyone else find this a bit scary?

Posted on August 10, 2005 by Steve Wilkinson

In the coming Windows Vista (the OS formerly known as Longhorn… Mmoooo!), Microsoft is promising the ability to access applications and desktops over the Internet without a virtual private network.

Considering their past and current track record, is anyone but me just a tad nervous about trusting M$ to VPN their data around the internet?

    heh, trust Microsoft for secure connections? Surely you jest :-)

    I’ll stick to using SSH on my Mac OS X boxes. Or Timbuktu with encryption enabled.
