This must be a joke.

Who, with a strait face, can believe that exploiting a
buffer overflow is just the act of an inocent person
using "Microsofts Features".

If this is not a joke then the author must be a black
hat. The comments alone indicate he/she is an MS
bigot. 

Not that I believe MS is virtuous or the best, but
exploiting a bug in any OS and then claiming that it
is just a normal use of an OS's feature set is
ridiculous.

If anyone used the trojaned sendmail its no ones
fault, just a feature right?!
