Well its a fairly safe assumption, I can't write bug free code, and I
have yet to see error free requirements. So you are onto a loser before
you even start worrying about not controlling most of the variables!


Hmm. So Microsoft isn't unique ...



Of course not. IME all software has bugs.

However, if you then extrapolate that and use if for the basis of an
argument that M$ bashing is unfounded because all other software
manufacturers have errors in their code then you are sorely missing the
point - there are some very good architectural reasons why M$ software has
been severely hit by security flaws.
