RE: M$ - so what should they do?

["joe" <mvp () joeware net>]

Absolutely, I posted that same message in a MS specific listserv today. My
comments were along the lines of treat it like a purchased app and set up a
new team to rebuild the app from the ground up, all new code. That way all
of the hidden nuggets waiting to bite people are gone and you can say from
the ground up security is considered. Anything built on old legacy code can
always be questioned as unsafe given the number of old issues that keep
popping up even now.
