NEW YORK, Jun 23, 2002 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
?Microsoft is developing a new system to improve
computer security that will address concerns about
privacy, security and intellectual property, Newsweek
reports in the current issue. Among the several
benefits of the ambitious long-range plan, called
"Palladium": it will seal information from attackers,

Advanced Microdevices have agreed to produce. "It's

attempted on the PC," says Gartner analyst Martin
Reynolds.
