Gates Says Windows Reliability Is Greater

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the release-the-worms dept.

mogrinz writes "According to an interview with the New York Times, Bill Gates is proud of the achievements Microsoft has made in increasing the security of Windows. As for the effects on people being attacked by SoBig.F, etc? Gates says this is "something we feel very bad about". Gates summarizes the Microsoft position very succinctly: "We're doing our very best, and that's all we can do"."

    If Microsloth was doing their best if fix Windoze666 they'd be broke. Instead they're doing their best to rip everybody off.

    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.

    No Bill, the flaw that led to Blaster, not the fix that you then came up with. Jesus. What sort of interview was this? Or let me guess, the questions were OK'd beforehand.
