Trusting software

Trusting software
Jason Miller, 2005-12-07

Open-source or closed-source, it's the same issue. Using other people's software has a lot to do with trust. If you don't trust the right people, you're putting yourself at risk.

Microsoft's IE is a perfect example of poor s/w. This program is years old, but yet still yields many vulnerabilities yearly. Legacy code or not, this program should of been bugged out by now. Yes it is a large program, but nonetheless it has been around for some time now, and is still but ridden. Further to that are the resources that MS could bring to bear if it chose to. It certainly is not a lack of funds, but likely a lack of will. This in spite of their new initiatives.
