So now he takes credit for solving problems that windows introduced! Windows is an OS full of holes, and now that the holes are being plugged he takes credit for it, pats himself on the back and says "well done". Dear Bill, others don't plug your holes because they don't make your mistakes! :angry: He should have said "No other software company has this problem; you, microsloth need to be fixed"! It's like doing bugs on purpose for job security.
Notice that while blaming the users, Bill doesn't actually answer the question.
True, but you might consider in all your hybris that your very best might not be enough.

Q. Have these events [blaster, sobig] created a serious public perception problem about Microsoft on the issue of security?
A. Microsoft's reputation for doing great software research is very strong, and people are looking to us now and saying, "no other software company has solved this; you, Microsoft, need to solve it." We're rising to that challenge. The expectation they have of us is very high.

Q. The buffer overrun flaw that made the Blaster worm possible was specifically targeted in your code reviews last year. Do you understand why the flaw that led to Blaster escaped your detection?
A. Understand there have actually been fixes for all of these things before the attack took place. The challenge is that we've got to get the fixes to be automatically applied without our customers having to make a special effort.
