<<""Microsoft software glitch may allow access to Web sites REDMOND, Wash.--Microsoft said its engineers included a secret phrase, "Netscape engineers are weenies," in some software that could be used to gain illicit access to hundreds of thousands of Internet sites worldwide, according to reports.">> As Bill Gates would say, "That's not a bug. It's a feature." Actually, it's intentional illegal entry. Microsoft may try to lay blame on their engineer staff and fire them or whatever. But they have got to take full responsibility for this or I see major lawsuits in the works. Now that the information is out. I'm sure hundreds of hackers out there are asking themselves, "Cool! How do I use that to get into e-commerce sites and steal or delete millions of financial transactions!" This is most unprofessional of them. -Bill_H
