Microsoft's commitment to OS security questioned

Microsoft's commitment to OS security questioned

Last week, research firm [b]Gartner[/b] issued a note that has raised serious questions about [b]Microsoft[/b]'s internal commitment to rid its operating systems of security holes.

[blockquote]The report from Gartner was spurred by the Abstract Syntax Notation vulnerability which Microsoft made public and issued a corrective patch for earlier this week. The vulnerability affects most every modern version of the Windows operating system and most security experts agree systems that aren't quickly patched are at high risk of hacker attacks or a quick-spreading Internet worm.
