Re:Good for them!
That's a very good point. An ideal strategy to not get enough bugs would be to fund one of the popular linux distros, build a community of developers and companies around it to flush out all the bugs.

Microsoft's act of desperation.

I hope the electronic passports are unhackable!!
If the passports are going to have the wireless technology built it, I hope they have taken utmost care to make it safe from hackers . Network/wireless sniffing is extremely easy. The electronic passports must be safe from simple attack like network sniffing/packet replay etc. That said, its a great move and a step in the right direction. listen_to_slashdot
