Microsoft unveiled NGSCB, formerly codenamed Palladium, in 2002, and published a beta in October 2003. The security technology has since undergone several changes. ...

Although initially intended to ship as part of Longhorn, the secure compartments have now been pulled from the platform and will be released later.

Microsoft has kept quiet about the changes in the program. The company cancelled a session at WinHEC about technology breastled "How to build NGSCB-enabled systems," replacing it with a session called "How to build in support for secure startup."

A spokeswoman for Microsoft claimed that the session breastle was changed because the new breastle better reflected the revised content. ...

Meanwhile, Microsoft has launched a logo program at WinHEC dubbed "Ready PC," indicating that a system is capable of running Longhorn. The logo tells users looking to buy a computer prior to the Longhorn launch whether a new system is able to switch to the upcoming operating system.

Isn't that just precious?
