I was so concerned.....
``Microsoft uses its own internal tools to vet its software, find bugs and reduce security vulnerabilities.''

Pheeewwww.... I am so glad to hear that MS has its own tools to catch their bugs. And we can all see how well all their tools are working! Trashworthy computing all the way! good stuff, good stuff billy.


The good quality in the OSS goes to show that when people are not motivated by money but only the urge to 'write good code', they can do pretty good job. Conversely put these people in a cubicle, give them unreasonable deadlines and then the code quality goes down the #rapper. Even worse when the company culture is 'write now design later' code quality hits rock bottom. Prime example all the MS s/w which is resisting very effectively correction.
