" In a stunning verification of Eric S. Raymond's open source adage,
"Many eyes make all bugs shallow," an attempt to place malicious
"backdoor" code in the Linux kernel 2.6 development tree was detected
and rejected almost immediately."

One thing that occurred to me, thinking about Eric's adage, there are
really *no* eyes on the Windows "kernel" (or whatever you call it). How
many unknown/deliberate backdoors could be in *there*?
