The Microsoft bulletin says the only way to ward off this attack is to "make sure you have no trusted publishers, including Microsoft." [...] In a recent financial statement, Microsoft revealed for the first time that desktop Windows makes a profit margin of more than 85 percent. To put this in personal terms, for every dollar you spent licensing the OS last year, Microsoft spent less than 15 cents on all Windows packaging, marketing, and, oh yeah, improving the product. [...] Setting aside just 1 cent of each dollar would create a fund of $29 million a year. That'd pay a lot of outside security auditors, don't you think?
