DaveNet : Lessons from a

DaveNet : Lessons from a hard disk crash

I’m a big Microsoft consumer just like most people, but frankly Hailstorm scares me a little. OK, a lot. I remember when I first saw “The Net” — the concept back then of someone erasing or hijacking the identity of someone else seemed ludicrous. But with a technology like Hailstorm, where user information is so centralized, it makes it much easier to be a reality.

Bingo. There is a good reply from a Microsoft dude on Hailstorm and secrurity. Not sure what it would take for me to trust Microsoft to keep all my data, maybe nothing, maybe I would trust no one to have all my info in one place.
