I have issues, OK!
The bottom line is actually quite stark and depressing.
Microsoft are building their future upon an architecture that is fundamentally flawed from top to bottom.
What kind of incentive does this give to big businesses who rely on Microsoft?
Microsoft like to think that the world needs their software, but I see it like this: if I fart in an elevator, someone else is going to have to breath that air.
They might not want to and they certainly won't enjoy it, but they often don't have a choice...

You just never know

That article is pure BS. So what if you can get the source code by reverse engineering the binaries? Only the most useless programs will be vulnerable to such problems.
The source code for the underlying OS used by OS X is freely available. Go download the Darwin source code and you'll see all the innards of OS X. Is OS X super insecure then?
The source code for Linux is freely available. So is the source of hundreds of other popular programs. The source code doesn't really matter in the end.

Was it not Linus Torvalds who said something like; with enough eyes, all bugs are shallow?
The point here is, with enough people looking at the code, most of the gotchas have been ironed out.
Just because you have the source code, it doesn't give all the keys to all the doors. You still have to figure out how to get around the measures that have been put in place _within_ the code...
