| the phrase "Trusted Computing" literally, instead of a feeble stab at irony, 
| and are putting all this effort into classifying the potential severity of 
| exploits instead of writing better software, and are still counting on the 
| bad guys to not launch attacks on Mondays, and it's still the responsibility 
| of someone, anyone but Microsoft to provide protection from Redmond's 
| malware-happy products.

| from doing what they do best, namely reverse-engineering the patches and 
| pushing out exploit code within hours of the patch's release.
