Microsoft puts us in danger

Check out this story: http://www.eweek.com/article/0,3658,s%253D701%2526a%253D26875,00.asp

"A senior Microsoft Corp. executive told a federal court last week that sharing information with competitors could damage national security and even threaten the U.S. war effort in Afghanistan. He later acknowledged that some Microsoft code was so flawed it could not be safely disclosed."

and look toward the bottom:

"The protocol, which is part of Message Queuing, contains a coding mistake that would threaten the security of enterprise systems using it if it were disclosed"

Please keep this in mind - excellent security needs to be a core part of any technology, and Microsoft is not there and never will be. Next time you get a virus on your computer, remember this.
