Hi,
Program writers are notorious for taking shortcuts. In many cases, they
often use known holes in the system code as a shortcut to accomplish
something in thier program. When the hole is later patched by a critical
update, their program (or part of it) no longer works. They do this
knowingly and intentionally. They have the opportunity to code it correctly
according to specs, they choose not to for expediency. So who's fault is
that? Or would you rather that the holes were not patched? You know, that
way everyone would be permanently susceptible to Nimda, Code Red, Blaster,
etc.......
