    And not even Billy Gates would bet against it, he's too good a businessman for that.

    Pfff! As if! Bill Gates would take your bet, then he'd make sure that copies of SP1 stay out of the hands of the most common bug reporters, that tech support convienently "loses" any reports that do come in, and he'd send CERT on an all expenses paid (and tax deductable!) vacation for doing such a good job.

    Then he'd collect his 10 pounds, and make a fortune off of advertising that 2003 is more secure than ever!
