I guess wasn't happy just having the DOJ after them. Now they want the SEC. Deal sounds very fishy to me.. I guess if I own a billion worth of TCI they would use my software too. :-) Joe P.

Microsoft's response to their unsecure software is not surprising: In terms of what we're doing, we're doing what we always do - which takes any security issue very, very seriously," said Microsoft's Jonathan Roberts, director of product management for Windows. As far as security is concerned, I don't think anybody questions whether Microsoft is sincere, it's just that they are sincerely screwed up. The reasons are actually rather simple: they designed everything around a stand-alone client with file and print sharing. In other words, they never thought through the problem of running software which originated somewhere else on the network, on your local machine.
