For almost all companies I would agree, but one of the few companies that often puts their long term interests above their short term interests is Microsoft. Of course with $40+ billion in cash they can afford to invest in their own long term interests. As far as Secure Computing and the Secure Internet is concerned: In my opinion, the United States of America is probably the only country that will legally mandate Secure Computing and the Secure Internet (at least Microsoft's vision of these). Other countries have no interest in supporting Microsoft.
