The Way It Should Be
eWeek is currently running an article titled Is It the End of the Security World as We Know It?
The article discusses the future plans Cisco, Sun, and Microsoft have which will revolutionize the security world. Each seems to have its own ideas which seem to perfectly align with their current business models
For those of you wondering, there are similar things being done in the gcc, glibc and kernel world. If you're intested in them, here are some links:
Red Hat Magazine Issue 6
Russell Coker's article in Issue 1 of Red Hat Magazine

The real thing to keep in mind though is how many of these technologies being spoken of at the RSA conference will actually see the light of day? I can't even guess the number of technologies I've heard of at trade shows that were never heard from again. Open source seems to have the advantage of actually producing results. If someone has a good idea, they do it rather than talk about how great of an idea it is.
I can only imagine what the world would look like if the marketing departments could program
