Many Hackers Accidentally Send Their Code To Microsoft 220
joshgnosis writes "When hackers crash Windows in the course of developing malware, they'll often accidentally agree to send the virus code straight to Microsoft, according to senior security architect Rocky Heckman. 'It's amazing how much stuff we get.' Heckman also said Microsoft was a common target for people testing their attacks. 'The first thing [script kiddies] do is fire off all these attacks at Microsoft.com. On average we get attacked between 7000 and 9000 times per second.'"

Thousands of hackers across the globe send their malware, virii, and trojans to Microsoft, where it is collected, pieced together and compiled. Then MS puts it in a box and calls it an OS.
If you notice, there is a direct correlation between the number of hackers sending their code to MS and the amount of bloat in each new software package released by MS.
Another mystery solved! You're welcome.

Hackers and Developers are both lazy. This is why things haven't gotten any worse and also why things haven't gotten any better.
