Security concerns gain in importance
SeattlePI | at | by Mike
Speeches by Bill Gates, assessing the state of the tech industry and touting Microsoft's products, have become standard fare at splashy events such as Comdex and the Consumer Electronics Show. But the Microsoft chairman's keynote address at a major convention Tuesday morning promises to be decidedly different.
Gates is scheduled to speak for the first time at the RSA Conference, a computer security show that starts today at San Francisco's Moscone Center. The annual show is one of the most important and biggest events in the computer-security world. This year, it's expected to draw more than 10,000 people involved in security -- from cryptographers and e-commerce experts to academics and government officials.
