Sure, people are going to get hurt in the short term, but thinking in the long term I can’t see that this will do anything but benifit Microsoft and their users long term.
You don’t have to look at the code to know it’s bad, really really bad. With some public attention hopefully they will take the time to do some house cleaning and fix things up, add that security they always talk about, and improve reliablity. Maybe the price will come down over time too? Even if just alittle.

Long term I think this is the giant slap in the face by Mother Reality that M$ needed.

… or, like their brother Intel, they can simply die.

I agree with you X, this is really dangerous, not only for sysadmins but anyone that uses a PC with windows OS. I just posted a similar thought on my site as well as a poll on it. Check it out. website is http://www.sketkar.com

I agree. Knowing MS, they will probably try to prosecute anyone who they even THINK saw the code.
