Well, that so-called "Conservative" Think Tank's article on the supposed
insecurities with open source code, has now been thoroughly debunked.
What's more, as we suspected, the institute has been heavily funded by
Microsoft.

See "MS-funded think tank propagates
                open-source lies"

This is not the first time a "Conservative" institute has released
meaningless drivel in the support of Microsoft.  The Ayn Rand Institute
and the Cato Group have made assholes of themselves over Microsoft as
well.

I consider myself politically Conservative, but these nutcases are
embarrassments to me.  They aren't Conservatives.
