Re: Support the Sasser-author fund started

A fool-proof software has yet to be written. Bugs and fixes are common for
Softwares. Its a continuous process to attain a no-bug or near-no-bug state.

As many fixes and patches are released for M'soft, other unix flavours are
also releasing fixes and patches and in more numbers than M'soft. If you
subscribe to Security tracker, you will know how many fixes and patches
released for Unix flavours recently.

Don't foul cry....  Its a collective effort to keep a system security. Bugs
and Taxes will be there always.
