Chris and all,
Boy, you sure hit the nail on the head here! I couldn't agree more. But as you know MS doesn't want to pay more for more experianced developers. As a result they get to let their customers test their code for free, and than say; "opps! we're sorry, yeah that is a bug!"
I understand M$ techs are not allowed to use the word "bug", unless talking about little insects.
ROFLMAO! Well I am not sure it is that severe! But your point is well taken! >;)
And in any case, they would likely refer to such security gaps as system enhancements.
In some cases they actually make this claim, as amazing as that might sound!
"Our new software upgrade allows for remote server access, enabling your customers and other interested parties to administer their own accounts. This may also be helpful, for example, in making adjustments and updates to their own, or other customers web pages, even from as far away as China. We appreciate that not all our customers value this service, and we have a planned inexpensive upgrade scheduled for final quarter 2003, which will allow customers to disallow remote access..." :-)
Yeah that sounds about right!
