Your "They finally reveal a double-faced attitude." is what shows the
lie, roy. Having never taken the position that you say they "could"
have taken, the conclusion is false.

A completely wrong analysis, roy. If Microsoft were to lag Symantec and
MacAfee and any others in guarding against flaws, their OneCare business
would be in jeopardy immediately. You have to be a real idiot to think
that MS would not be very highly focused on protecting their huge
revenue stream from Windows. Managed code in Vista and .NET is one
avenue to show the world that Windows is determined and OneCare is just
another. You unix trogs carp and sneer, but Mr. Softee is working away
and it shows. The linuxers don't show anything, they say they are
invulnerable because they are so much more intelligent than the herd of
"Windozers" who are the butt of their jokes. But who would YOU rather
deal with when it came time to pay the piper? Some smug dweeb with his
insults or the feel-your-pain Microsoftie working diligently to fix the
problem? The public takes notice and that is why you guy have no
traction. Not that you could ever come to see that! LOL!!!
