programs. For those who missed my other openvoting thread, I was going back and forth with a poster who falsely believed that computer programs could be made infallable.

When you get this "certification" BS., then you could just throw that topic right back in their face. And ain't it great that we have Microsoft as the software platform? Microsoft, has thousands of software engineers (i.e. programmers), and look at what they've given us:

The Nimbda virus
CodeRed
SQL Slammer

etc.

These were exploited flaws in MS's programs which were "certified" by MS's marketing department as secure.

Go look at the long, long, long list of bugs that Microsoft has provided "hotfixes" for.

Perhaps these facts, well documented and vetted, thrown in the face of public officials in the present of the hoards of the public affected by Microsoft's virus-of-the-week susceptible software, will turn more heads.

Don't get me wrong, this is not about MS-bashing, but MS is the visible player here. This is really about destroying the "infallable computer program" myth.
