Well, it depends: are you a network admin who is looking at the highway
robbery licence (sorry for the oh-so-horrid spelling) or a developer who
has yet to commit to either C# (which is commonly felt to be "MSJava")
or .Net? Frankly, I wish al of these security problems would make every
company using MS software cringe with fear, but to most people if MS
says it's ok, then just complain and remember there is no other option
(fnord).
Maybe people should read a bit more Nietszche (not that I like the guy,
mind you, but he does make a point) and realize that they're at the
wrong end of the Overman/Slave relationship.
Shikata ga nai.
