This moron is a security consultant? Why do you think MS is keeping a $50B cash hoard? Companies as well as indvidual users are not going to stand for flawed software which impacts their bottom line for much longer. Linux at least has an excuse, it is essentially free. But now that Red Hat and SuSE have gone to a pay system, customers are going to expect a reasonable flaw-free product in return for the increased cost.

Microsoft's EULA will die too, if they ever expect to make serious inroads in the business server software. Even individual users are tired of security-holed software.

How this idiot continues to write for Security Focus is beyond me.
