The reverse is also true, which is the theory behind open source.  The good
guys get to see the code now also and can see what holes there are that only
MS knew about.  that is why your comment "clearly seeing things that we
can'" is wrong.  Now you can see as much as the bad guy can see.  The code
being out there puts everyone on even footing in regards to knowing how
things work.
