There could be a better way to patch things, MS's example is not an improvement.

The "Trustworth" model is a PR gimic. Nor has using the "Trustworthy" model enabled MS to avoid looking like donkeys. Nor has it stoped hacks.

Try compairing the publicity statments to the actions of the company presenting the argument and the results of following it. MS deals with its security faults under "Bad PR", not as "Somthing To Avoid" I would hate to see linux and Unix move to the same model.
