i can't see it. i know folks who write code at microsoft and they worry
as much about security bugs as people who work at other places or who do
software as a hobby. the problem microsoft has with software quality that
they have no competition, and their marketing people know that ship dates
will drive total dollar volume regardless of quality. (when you have
competition, you have to worry about quality; when you don't, you don't.)
