I think that a link would have been a more appropriate way to send out
this report. The attached PDF was 875K which is too big for an email
list.

Here's the link: http://www.ccianet.org/papers/cyberinsecurity.pdf

As many of you may or may not know, a report was released which was
highly critical of M$. The lead author of this report was Daniel Geer,
CTO of @stake. @stake is a partner in the Trustworthy Computing
Initiative. Soon after this report was released, Mr.. Geer was given his
walking papers. I believe that Microsoft had a hand in his resignation,
and as such represents a bad precedent.

While I do not believe this group should abandon its efforts to secure
the Windows OS, this news is very troubling to me.

Enclosed is copy of the report for all to read.

Regards,

Edward W. Ray
