ENT News | at | by Mike
More of Microsoft's $6.8 billion research budget will be directed toward making its software more secure and reliable, chairman and chief software architect Bill Gates said at a European technology conference. "For Microsoft, security will continue to be our top R&D investment for years to come," the Reuters news service reported Bill Gates as telling industry experts at a Microsoft conference in Prague.
Gates also said that only 20 percent of customers use up-to-date software, a figure he would like to see increased to 90 percent.
