Mozek: How can MSFT ensure the integrity of the O/S( Love Bug is a great example of potential abuse) if they pay a bounty to hackers to come up with undocumented entry points to the O/S which may or may not be used for responsible purposes. You have to be living in LaLa land. Why don't we impose this kind of requirement on every O/S out there and turn the landscape of software into a real Babel. Paying Hackers to chew up the O/S is hardly what the owner (me a shareholder) wants to see done to my O/S. I think it has to be done under the outlines offered by MSFT or otherwise it becomes a free or all. All these jerks say woefully inadequate. MSFT is just proposing what ifs that fit the complaints detailed by the judge. In the end this stupid suit is going to be DISMISSED! JFD
