Do you suppose it is because of the different techniques researchers use
to detect vulnerabilities in source code vs. binary-only code? Or is
that a bad assumption because the hax0rs have Microsoft's source code
anyway? :-)


I'm in the process of hiring an outside firm for security review of the
product for the day job. They didn't seem particularly interested in the
source, the binaries are sufficient. It appears to me that the
distinction between source and object is becoming a bit moot nowadays.
