Only to a point

I agree but only to a point. If an 18 year old can find the hole and write a virus to exploit it, why can't Microsoft who has the best programmers in the world find it first. Furthermore, why are they not performing the same and even more stringent testing procedures. And actually age has nothing to do with it, 18 or 12, I just can't understand why Microsoft can't find these before they distribute the software. Look how many security flaws have been discovered just in XP. Now combine all the flaws from win 2k and xp and look how many flaws have been discovered in the wild. You can't tell me Microsoft doesn't have the resources to reduce this number before the software is ever released.
