New Independent Study Reveals Enterprises Are Under-Investing In the Protection of Corporate Secrets
,----[ Quote ]
| RSA, The Security Division of EMC (NYSE:
| EMC) and Microsoft (MSFT) today announced
| the results of a commissioned global survey
| conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf
| of RSA and Microsoft, entitled "The Value
| of Corporate Secrets: How Compliance and
| Collaboration Affect Enterprise Perceptions
| of Risk." The survey of 305 IT security
| decision-makers worldwide revealed that
| enterprises are investing heavily in
| compliance and protection against
| accidental leaks of custodial data (such as
| customer information), but under-investing
| in protection against theft of far more
| valuable corporate secrets.

UW study: Microsoft accounts for 13.6% of Wash. economy
http://blog.seattlepi.com/microsoft/archives/201302.asp
New study says 8.4% of jobs in Wash. state depend on Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| The study, funded by Microsoft, says the
| company was directly (through employment)
| and indirectly (through spending by
| Microsoft and its workers) responsible for
| 8.4 percent of the state's employment as of
| 2008, or approximately 267,600 jobs. That
| was up from approximately 6 percent in
| 2005, 3.5 percent in 2000, and less than 1
| percent in 1990, according to the study by
| UW economics professor Theo Eicher.

Forrester survey discovers that virtually no one uses open source (?!?)

| Back in 2005, Microsoft was paying Forrester for anti-Linux research. I
| assume that this report, referenced at the top of this post, is more of the
| same. But even in the midst of FUD there is real data that can make
| open-source vendors better.

Commentary: Getting the Facts, Forrester-style
,----[ Quote ]
| Still browsing through Microsoft's Get the Facts campaign website, and I
| think I found one of the primary reasons Microsoft is hammering on
| the "You've already bought us once, why not more?" theme. Take a look at this
| Forrester chart, available here in its original report, posted (and paid for)
| by Microsoft.
