Is it not bad enough that someone first broke in... proving the lack of security. Looking back at the whole reason is was kept closed source.... and i paraphrase "not seeing the source keeps (haha) from seeing holes which could otherwise be seen in open source". The company i work for has spent near 1/4 million dollars on M$ products, liscensing, and support. The fact that my boss relies on the fact that the source is closed (in his mind)... this seems to be a very big implication and would be reason enough to save our money from now on, and use a solution that isnt so damn backwards. I can only imagine how much money we are continually losing even using the "Great Plains" accounting system. If this leak is indeed legit, M$ isnt doing its job and os letting down its customers. Furthermore when my business completely relies on a company that cant even protect itself...
I have enough to worry about, this should be the last thing that should happen. Let this be a clear message that easy isnt always better... any forest gump can run a M$ product...
