      My oped over the weekend. Software *is* eating the world. Tech world, gov'ts & institutions *have to* turn a corner. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/13/opinion/the-world-is-getting-hacked-why-dont-we-do-more-to-stop-it.html …pic.twitter.com/WqV2N1m0gK

      Tech folk keep saying Win XP is ancient. It's not. Software can't run infrastructure w/ expectation to junk it in a decade. Time to adjust.

      I understand that software is a fast-moving industry. But it is now integrated into the world. The standards and expectations have to match.

      Security, safety and stability have to take a front-seat in software. I hear all the resistance, but *this* will actually open up vistas.

      Also! There are NSA discussion to be had, but Windows XP bugs (so many!) and patching lags aren't directly on them.https://twitter.com/beauwoods/status/864135074664591362 …

      Very disappointed that the public policy community can't see the dangers #WannaCry revealed and are mostly chasing NSA red herring.

      This is going to be a super dumb question, but why do you recommend getting off Android phones unless Google phones?

      Not dumb! Vendors are very bad at updating their phones—which makes you a sitting duck because updates are the only way to stay more secure.

      Since you brought it up, how are you handling the end of support life for that n4? Or is that just a testbed?
