Agreed, they should. But, in doing so they admit their own development processes cannot re-produce the quality of software coming out of the 'open source' movement. Frankly, you just have to look at all the security holes that non-Microsoft developers have discovered I just look forward to the day when Microsoft isn't such a determining factor in web development, let alone the internet or even information technology all together. It just couldn't happen soon enough for me... I cannot count the number of weeks or even years that Bill Gates owes me money for - what with all the productivity I have lost because of viruses, malware, buggy software like Word, Internet Explorer and their Windows OS (or should that be NS for non-operating system). I just blows my mind how much time *everyone* has wasted because their 'is no alternative'... Thank God for Firefox, *nix (linux,bsd etc) and Apple. Without you, I would have left this industry many years ago.
