Precisely! The laws are not just for you, nor just for Microsoft, but ALL code writers should attend! Markus Kern wrote:

Where do you think the vulnerabilities come from?Laws aren't solely for Microsoft. Everyone else would be responsible for bugs in their code, too. Imagine someone is sued because his shareware ftp server has a buffer overflow. I bet Microsoft would love to run their competition's software on some of their boxen just to sue them as soon as a bug is found.Markus Kern wrote:Meritt James wrote:THAT is an informative statement! If a bit of consideration for the law was made, there would be many fewer vulnerabilities in the first place.How would consideration for the law reduce _vulnerabilities_? I have to agree with Michael Rudel. When we're discussing the ethics/morals of something current laws are irrelevant. Laws are deduced from the outcome of such discussions (or that's the way I think it should be).So why are YOU discussing laws, followed by a statement that what you wrote is irelevant?My question was related to your statement that laws would reduce vulnerabilities. The rest to Michael Rudel's post. Two different topics. regards, Markus KernBut thanks for the job security! "Michael R.
