Wouldn't you like M$ to pay attention to those laws?
Where do you think
the vulnerabilities come from?
Laws aren't solely for Microsoft. Everyone else would be responsible for bugs in their code, too. Imagine someone is sued because his shareware ftp server has a buffer overflow. I bet Microsoft would love to run their competition's software on some of their boxen just to sue them as soon as a bug is found.

How would consideration for the law reduce
_vulnerabilities_?
I have to agree with Michael Rudel. When we're discussing the ethics/morals of
something current laws are
irrelevant. Laws are deduced from the outcome of such
discussions (or that's the way
I think it should be).So why are YOU discussing laws, followed by a
statement that what you
wrote is irelevant?
My question was related to your statement that laws would reduce vulnerabilities. The rest to Michael Rudel's post. Two different topics. regards, Markus Kern
