Yeah, that's probably true. If there were such exploits, we all know
that Microsoft would keep really, really quiet about it, so as not to
make their competition look bad. LOL!
This is the company, you know, that tried to say that Linux had more
vulnerabilities than Windows by adding up the reported
vulnerabilities of every distro, even if they had nothing to do with
the Linux OS itself! E.g., if there was an app called 'dummy' that
was included in 20 different Linux distros, and someone found a
buffer overrun problem in it, it would be reported to all 20 sites,
and Microsoft would count that as 20 vulnerabilities in Linux! Even
though it was an app, not the OS!
Yeah, you're right. Microsoft would never go out of their way to
make the competition look bad.
