Re: MS, please help me understand
"As a developer you should then be aware that it's pretty much impossible to release 100% bug free code, especially when your talking about something the size of Windows."
That may be so, but there is a big difference between bug free and insecure code; a professional programmer would be aware of this difference.
The worrying, but yet informative aspect of all the security announcements is just how much code in the supposedly brand new versions of Windows actually date back to at least XP/2003. Which given the seemingly common thread to many of the Windows exploits over the years, doesn't bode well for the quality of the various code inspections and reviews that must have occurred over the years.
