In this month's Crypto-Gram, Bruce Schneier's lead story is about the
UPnP vulnerability in Windows XP.  Here's his concluding paragraph.

> Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have
> some fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor
> products are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them
> because they've done more to harm Internet security than anyone
> else, because they repeatedly lie to the public about their
> products' security, and because they do everything they can to
> convince people that the problems lie anywhere but inside
> Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities as public
> relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this kind of
> nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

And here's an amusing item from Counterpane News.

> Counterpane News 
> 
> Network World Magazine named Bruce Schneier a Power Executive for
> 2002. (I promise to use my power only for good.)
