-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 While there is some argument about what makes a vendor un-responsive, patch times in this case are, likely and understandably, quite lengthy. These fixes are not trivial to begin with, thanks in no small part to the incredible number of customers Microsoft has. As if the literally millions of configurations Microsoft software must support weren't enough, think for a second about the multiple different character sets its code applies to. Even the *DOCUMENTATION* for the patch must be translated into dozens of different languages -- no small task with exploitation looming on the horizon. However, it is obvious that in this case, the reporter did not attempt any contact with Microsoft what-so-ever. ///////// This is not my problem. I DON'T CARE! That's your company and you do with it as you see fit. Whether you want to make 1 million versions of your product in order to grab every possible market share, so be it. You'd better be damn sure that what you make works otherwise if you throw it out there and it breaks, some one has to pay. Why not make one quality product instead of hundreds of flawed ones? That's right! It's your company and you do with it as you see fit! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify Version: Hush 2.3 wkYEARECAAYFAj8B54UACgkQTAj0ZSCgbx4SNQCfaUzCFmsTRgamjmGFSiZ0qA9/m0gA oJxvhoN3wc7ZgFgEb2QyRVN6b5wi =35YT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Concerned about your privacy?
