Various Microsoft news tidbits contributed by numerous readers: Phoebus0 notes that Microsoft's Vice-President in charge of Windows development states flat out that Microsoft products aren't engineered for security, absolutely guaranteeing he'll have tomorrow's Ditherati quote.

Microsoft has another security bulletin out on the digital certificate spoofing bug that has caused them so many problems recently.
