Gates calls for 'trustworthy computing' [IDG InfoWorld]

Well, this story keeps growing and growing. What's really funny is that in typical Bill Gates fashion, security is now "Trustworthy Computing"™. It reminds me of that old joke: "How many Microsoft programmers does it take to change a lightbulb?" "None. Bill Gates will just define Darkness™ as the new standard"

So. How long before Trustworthy Computing™ is the new euphemism for a security hole?
