Re: What could have been done differently?

Similarly, you _pay_ MS for a product. A product which is repeatedly vulnerable.

I think this is key. People (individuals/corporations) keep buying crappy software. As long as people keep paying the software vendors for these broken products what incentives do they have to actually fix them? Imagine if your car had to be recalled for problems every week (for years and years) [and you had to install the fixes yourself]. Do you think that the manufacturer of that car would still be selling cars, or atleast that model? Not likely. Why do we as consumers put of with this for software but not other products? It doesn't make any sense. - Mike Hogsett
