The problem is not the lack of security in software, but companies that create the impression that their software is perfectly secure. If I sell you a house, and tell you that it has first class locks, but in truth they are pretty lousy, - maybe then you would like to take me to task? If you sell something, you have got to make sure it works the way you say it does. In the electronic bussiness, we have to face the music when we screw up, so we do our best not to screw up. Why should software be different?
