Who Was Ed Curry?
Ed Curry provided Microsoft with a suite of diagnostics to determine whether Windows NT was worthy of C2 certification.
The diagnostics found that the OS did not meet the required standards, and had serious security problems.
Microsoft tried to hush-hush the matter, so it could sell licenses to the Pentagon.
Mr. Curry refused to go along. He was never paid, and his company went bankrupt.
Not long afterward, he died of a stress-induced stroke.
Ed Curry's findings, and the shabby way he was treated, are now a matter of public record.
Lest he be forgotten, we have compiled the list of links below.
