Microsoft Can't Escape Security Woes

Despite Microsoft's claims of a renewed focus on security, the
vulnerability-beleaguered company has issued 30 advisories for 40
vulnerabilities so far in 2002.  While Microsoft's efforts to scour
its own code for security problems are commendable, the company is
also taking some risks by offering an automated update system and by
including new, activated features on update CDs.
