Open source gets results, while Microsoft blames malware on 'stupid users'
,----[ Quote ]
| Two very different news articles crossed my desk today. First, there was
| a report that open source developers on 32 projects fixed 900 bugs in
| two weeks that were reported by an automated scan program from Coverity,
| sponsored by a grant from U.S. Homeland Security. Second, a presentation
| was given by a Microsoft security official who said that rootkits,
| phishing, trojans, spyware, and other forms of malware had gotten so bad
| on Windows that IT departments needed to come up with a fast way to "nuke
| the systems from orbit", i.e., wipe out the hard drive and start over.
| He goes on to say that phishing is a problem because "there really is
| no patch for human stupidity".
