Ballmer says Microsoft is working closely with security firms in attempting them to keep exploits quiet until the company can develop and release a patch. "I wish those people just would be quiet," Ballmer says. "It would be best for the world. That's not going to happen, so we have to work in the right fashion with these security researchers."
Now what i read out of this is... people talking about holes in security are the only way to make MS work in the right fashion?
Sounds like MS...

| No. Remove your obvious bias and reread it.
If people would keep their mouths shut about exploits, then Microsoft could fix them and release a patch before some retard takes advantadge of it.
These people find an exploit, report it to god and his dog, and within minutes every tool on the internet knows about the exploit. Then some hacker who's mommy took him off the boob too soon, needs attention, and then uses that expliot before a fix is put out. |

Great quote, Balmer.
"If no one but hackers found these, then we'd have less work to do. Not like I really do anything anyway." |

In the past Microsoft has a track record of not always fixing security holes that they don't have to. Publishing these problems has been one of the only ways to force MS's hand to deal with these problems. |
