With MS's vast resources,

aspir8or 26th Oct 2009

how come this continually happens? They release
a new app/os to the world and it invariably has
security holes. If Bing was a car, they would
be forced to recall every last one of that
model to fix it, and would likely get heavily
fined as well.

They release a new app and within weeks, if not
days, some bored teenager finds a security hole
that has somehow been missed by their own
highly paid and supposedly highly skilled
programmers and testing staff. Every *******
time.

And I'm not writing this as a nix or mac
fanboy. I use both Linux and Windows, and
Windows 7 is tempting me away from Linux as my
main desktop os.

So why are MS allowed to sell a new os, say
thanks very much for your $200, and by the way,
as soon as you install it and go live, someone
is going to hack in, steal your identity or add
you to a botnet, but don't worry, we'll fix it
on tuesday month?
