Charles, be fair. What these programmers did was NOT innovating. I said so myself. No amount of product review or quality control will be able to fix this kind of behavior. Only serious response to such action will. It is very easy for a tech company to do so. Revoke the options and fire the persons involved...

"It is evidence of a total lack of product review and quality control, as well as an unprofessional workforce" I agree that the guy(s) who put this in should be fired. But how can you make assumptions about management intentions, lack of quality control, and a 30,000 person workforce? We have no idea how the security bug got by. You have no idea about how hard people try to eliminate these things. And branding the company and its employees as an arrogant and careless makes you look that way to those who work there and know otherwise. All you see is the horrible press and buggy software. I see the intense effort to change these things, smart hardworking employees, and software that is a lot better than it was a few years ago. Please keep in mind that anything bad that comes out of Microsoft isn't because of a 30,000 person combined effort to make it that way.
