Reason #1 not to ever, ever, ever, ever, ever trust Microsoft:
"Microsoft Acknowledges Its Engineers Placed Security Flaw in Some
Software."
The articles aren't really clear yet, but here's the abstract that's on
Slashdot:

and here's the full thing from the Wall Street Journal:

So let's all ask the question on everyone's mind: how can you trust
anything *but* open source software? This is just ridiculous...
