Plz Mod Up!.1 Thx! (Score 0)

Please mod the above up. I have recently noticed exactly the same thing -- Microsoft was once the very best vendor out there, bar none, about delivering critical patches like this. In fact, there was a time when Microsoft was extremely good at finding and bringing to light critical flaws even in in the products of other vendors. Many, many long hours were spent at Microsoft looking for flaws in products from software luminaries like Lotus, Digital Research, and Word Perfect. But now, Microsoft seems to have lost the fire in their belly, and they're falling behind. A quick glance at their stock price confirms that investors have noticed this unfortunate trend.

I'm glad that Open Source programmers have taken up the call, and started to finally deliver high quality, unbreakable products. Imagine! The PHP group has a fix out on exactly the same day the bug is released. It's amazing!
