<quote> Ballmer made it absolutely clear where his company--arguably the biggest target for cybercrime the world over--stands when it comes to hacking, be it malicious code-authoring or what some consider to be ethical programming. Ballmer likens these individuals to criminals who blow up buildings and says the monetary damage is worse. And he takes umbrage with the notion that some are ethical and help to create new innovations for the market by pushing IT to its limits. </quote> They should make this clear on their bug reporting page. georgi On Wed, 1 Oct 2003 07:54:12 -0700 <dhtml () hush com> wrote:
