MS on the hunt
First, write better software.
Second, teach people how to not download and install email attachments from people they don't know.
Third, how is it the paparrazi can take pictures of say, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt and post it on their national enquirer type magazines,without getting permission from celebrities, and that is proteted under the terms of free speech. But hackers who take pictures of MS code and publish on their websites without MS permission, are called criminals?
Fourrth, MS claims people who know MS code can then copy that code into their own programs..uh why would we want to incoroporate lousy code into unix and linux ?
GPL says lets show the code, lets improve it, lets secure it. MS says hide it and wait until someone figures out how to hack it, destroy our systems,a nd wait 200 days to issue a patch
