Microsoft lauded for indemnification program

As Linuxphiles descend on Boston for the big LinuxWorld convention scheduled to begin next week, Microsoft has issued a press release touting a pair of recent independent analyst reports that praise its indemnification initiatives.
The reports from IDC and Forrester Research highlight the improvements made to Microsoft's indemnification program last November when the company extended protection to end users of a long list of current and past versions of its software.
"By expanding protection to average consumers, Microsoft has set a precedent that should help protect the investments of its customers -- protection not currently offered by other vendors," Julie Giera, a vice president of Forrester Research, said in a statement.
