It's not a bad idea on behalf of Microsoft, and they're taking a lot more of a proactive approach to security than the goddamn open source community. Windows has only racked up around 750 exploits in the National Vunerability Database (covered recently on /.), whereas Linux has a shocking 1000+ exploits, mostly of moderate to high severity, yet we still get shit from the open source community about flaws in Windows. STFU and go use Kate and G++, I've got VS.NET 2003 Enterprise Architect and an MSDN subscription.
