Of course, the MS bumboy Tim Mullen on SecurityFocus, has his usual fellatial praise for those incompetent boobs in Redmond: "Now, even with these tremendous advancements in XP, [Huh??!!] some people are going out of there way to find fault with it, as they seem to do with all things Microsoft. In fact, some of this is just downright hypocritical. [Howzat?] Security researchers and analysts continually blast Microsoft for security issues, and have done so forever (I've even done it.) [I don't think I've ever seen that...] But now that the company has responded in a significant way, [with what, a firewall that doesn't work?!] it gets bad press for releasing a Service Pack that might break ISV applications. The truth here is that if an application breaks, it really did need fixing anyway." Ooooh, I see, it's the *application developers* fault for not bowing to MS and making their apps 'compatible' with this shite called a Service Pack. No, what we as a 'security community' need to do is abandon MS altogether. Oh, wait, what's that at the bottom of the page? "SecurityFocus columnist Timothy M. Mullen is CIO and Chief Software Architect for AnchorIS.Com, a developer of secure, enterprise-based accounting software. AnchorIS.Com also provides security consulting services for a variety of companies, including Microsoft Corporation." Wow, what a coincidence.
