Trainee security professionals at Micropatch

"We're starting to use trainee security professionals right now to produce our software solutions, to save on money"

"We straight away sacked the trainee security professional right after we learned of the crash issues"

"We will vet our trainee security professionals more fully in future, to avoid this kind of thing happening again"

"We just don't want to recruit experienced security professionals anymore, we're Microsoft we get away with anything"

"We don't expect to get sued by anyone over this, its usually accepted that these things happen from time to time"

Wow. First release an unvetted patch for a security issue in the least
secure browser in the world. Then later discover a buffer overrun
issue that opens a serious security threat IN THE PATCH??? A
*BUFFER OVERRUN* issue? IN THE PATCH??

I knew Micro$loth was incompetant, but this is getting silly now.
Anyone dumb enough to trust this trashware from Redmond
deserves what's coming to them.

it's always user error from every sites CEO's.
Duhhh, everytime I have a problem, the first thing I do is go to the Windows updates pages and look for their updates, as that is usually where the problem lies. You have to wait out about 3 patches for them to get it right.
Rule no.1]NEVER and I mean NEVER believe a tech guy trying to convince you it's your error.
Say a prayer for the Windows users!!
