Microsoft dusts off 'Palladium' security for Longhorn
MS-Watch | at | by Mike
When Microsoft distributes the preview release of Longhorn at the WinHEC at the end of this month, it will look quite different from the early Longhorn bits it distributed at the same show a year ago.
Unlike last year's Longhorn Windows Hardware Engineering Conference preview build, this year's will include the first pieces of Microsoft's built-in Windows security system.
That system-originally code-named "Palladium," (and more recently, "Next-Generation Secure Computing Base," or NGSCB)-has been one of the most controversial of the planned Longhorn components, since Microsoft first detailed it in 2003.
