If they are so sure, why don't they take responsibility for damages caused by their products? Any warranty for m$ products? How much money does it make every time a windoze crash?
/me thinks that Kurt Vonnegut has explained it in this quote:
the big trouble with dumb bastards is that they are too dumb to believe there is such a thing as being smart. -- Kurt Vonnegut

Heh, it's a funny phrase, and beside how capable Microsoft is of fixing their bugs (which I'm not talking about at all), the phrase hides some other sutff in it:
On one side, by "Hackers", independently of what "Hacker" means, they are putting a name on a group of people, and saying that they are going to extint this group of people, which not a really happy idea...
On the other side, either they will fix the bugs in every software out there, or they are recognizing that they are planning that the only software which will be running any computer out there will be Microsoft's, or at least based or using some Microsoft technology (the technology to extinct hackers).
heh, I just thought it was funny
