I agree. It all comes down to money, as you all know. Do you think the
bean counters and lawyers at MS see it proitable to announce such a
obvious problem, no doubt running the risk of being unfavorably depicted
in the ignorant mass media as offering a product that is "insecure?" We
all know what the responcible thing to do is. I suspect marketing has a
hand in quelling the idea of announcing this problem. That's why I agree..
to a point.
