Apparently, even in the 24th century or whatever, Starfleet doesn't STILL doesn't have a secure messaging medium (at least in The Emissary: they wouldn't tell Picard details about the mission because the matter highly sensitive).

That doesn't leave much hope for WS-Security, does it?

Paul Andrews: "I'd feel more optimistic about R&D at Microsoft if the company could point to a single successful original product to emerge from R&D expenditure." [Scripting News]

I think this project would be worth a lot, to me at least: all I seem to get is spam.

R&D at Microsoft is basic research; IBM Research is probably the closest comparison: they even do Chemistry. Of course, most of the stuff won't see the light of productization, but, something like 50% of software projects "fail" anyway.
