26 bugs. 26!

What is Micro$oft doing to address security in the tons of code they release and maintain?

The number of bugs found by people poking around is continuously growing at a steady pace.

I can't believe Micro$oft doesn't have talented people on their payroll.

I can't believe most of these bugs, which are most of the time found having zero knowledge (not to mention access to source code, specifications, etc.) couldn't be spotted early in the development process. If only they'd do a bit of testing.

I can't believe most of these bugs couldn't be spotted during product-wide tests (internal acceptance or call it as you like, whatever comes before releasing vaporware on the market).

Can't believe that, and we are speaking of a humongous giant having so much financial means at its disposal that it doesn't even know how to spend them!

26 bugs. 26!

Reminds me of the "one bug a day" initiative on IE... Where do you wanna a flaw today? [TM]
