Ah, but once again Microsoft makes it easier for the user. Now you don't have to waste your time making MS executives appear stupid. No, they'll do it for you. Here's an article on today's Slashdot from the shooting-yourself-in-the-foot department: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/05/20/2124248&mode=thread&tid=109 If you follow the link (it's a week old -- Slashdot must be losing their edge), Jim Allchin (Group VP of platforms at MS) told the court that since Microsoft code is so damn buggy and insecure, releasing it to the public would reveal security problems that could lead to the end of Life, the Universe, and Things Like That. Gosh, open source used to be just a cancer and communistic -- now it's a terrorist thing, too. More proof of the old adage, "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel." -- cmg
