Black Hats live for these senarios...Remember that a true cracker is himself an idealogist; always have a completely 'rationale' (by their own sight) for doing what they do....for some its politics, money, power, challenge, religion, etc...With regards to MS struggles - in my country a copy of windows Xp professional is for $24,000 (nearly half my monthly salary), now do ANY of you think it would be fair for me to purchase software that was rushed unto the market without thorough debugging procedures, at such a cost (economic & personal)? NO it aint! So, bottomline is, MS needs to be warranted by some customer rights agency to ensure that its code are thoroughly debugged b4 release...& trust me, u dont have to b a developer 4 20 yrs to kno that if you have the source, you can, in time find potentially every (or the most threatening) bugs....!!!
