--11 March 2002  Air Force CIO Wants Better Security In Microsoft Products
Air Force CIO John Gilligan says the Air Force will stop using
Microsoft software if the company doesn't improve its products'
security; Gilligan says the Air Force will do business with the
companies that offer the best solutions.

[Editor's (Schultz) Note: This is an extremely significant
development. A large customer is standing up to vendors and saying
"We will not buy your products any more if you don't give us better
security."  Vendors say they do not provide better security in their
products because customers do not demand it.  Now Gilligan is demanding
it.  If others like Gilligan follow suit, vendors will for the first
time feel genuine pressure to develop better, more secure software.]
