Bill Gates says users are at fault for poor security

This refrain is familiar to the INQUIRER: Gates said more or less the same thing when he addressed an Assembly of CEOs in Berlin a few weeks ago.

The chief software architect (CSA.’.) told IT Business that perfect code wasn’t the answer to security problems, but firewalls and keeping the software up to date were more important.
