Great, about time, cheers for Billy..... The same dolts that want to control when users get to hear about security flaws now say they want to make a more secure product. Not telling me the lock dont work is not the same as makeing a good lock to start with or fixing the lock. However if MS follows thru, this could be the greatest boon for users ever put out by MS.
It is 'professionals' with attitudes like John Pescatore that got us into this mess in the first place. Fleeping creeperism I think it is called. Designers would rather pack features that make them work. Users wont use most the features in a basic word processor. Users would rather the features they use to work as advertised.
