True enough. Microsoft, as a corporation, is not to be trusted at all. If it weren't for Linux and the threat it represents, we'd see Windows2000 out for release *right now* and MS would continue its practice of letting its customers debug its code for them. Would *you* run mission-critical applications on a platform that generates at least one bad security hole a month? Gates and Ballmer expect you to. Would you drive a car that stopped for no apparent reason in the middle of the highway? Would you drive one that slowed down to the point where you had to turn it off and start it again to get performance from it?
