One of the things I love about working at Microsoft, and working in Windows, is your ability to influence so many areas.
This article at PC World discusses a number of areas (as you can imagine it's just a partial list) that I was able to directly influence or work on during the Windows 7 release, the mentioned ones include:
- DNSSec
- Extended Protection for Authentication,
- Bitlocker To-Go
- Better Cryptography
- Direct Access
Pretty cool if you ask me!
