>From Slashdot: It was recently reported in eWeek that "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." (Emphasis added.) The follow up
from Microsoft is even better: As a result of the flaws, Microsoft has asked
the court to allow a "national security" carve-out from the requirement that
any code or API's be made public. Microsoft has therefore taken the position
that their code is so bad that it must kept secret to keep people from being
killed by it. Windows - the Pinto of the 21st century.
