Report: Microsoft monoculture is a National Security risk

From Microsoft's perspective, the report is just the most recent attack from the CCIA, which is also suing the company for its antitrust abuses and has spent much of the past few years lobbying the federal government to stop using Microsoft software. In some ways, the report's timing is also suspect: Is the CCIA taking advantage of the recent security hacks to, in effect, kick Microsoft when the company is down? And if so, isn't the CCIA's tactic no better than the integration strategy of which it accuses Microsoft in its report? Microsoft officials made few comments in the wake of the report, but one representative did say that the company is reviewing the document. "We recognize that the CCIA represents many Microsoft competitors, but we are 100 percent committed to addressing the security concerns of customers, so we will review their white paper and address any concerns that they raise," the representative said.
