Microsoft Defends ANI Patch Delay
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft spent more than 100 days readying a fix for a flaw in
| the way Windows handles animated cursor files. The company admitted
| it has known about the issue since December 20, 2006. Several
| security vendors released quick fixes, but Microsoft didn't
| issue its own out-of-cycle patch until April 3.

How badly constructed is the code if it requires 3 months to patch?
The security theme recurs, with Vista at the centre of it (it's broken apart
quite freuently). I'm trying to just find a subsample here that will not
overload or 'noisify' the newsgroup. The volume of good news for Linux is
exploding, practically increasing every week. The change is inevitable and
it's only a matter of time (transformation is only slown down through
Microsoft's deliberate sabotage on rivals' turf).
