No other chance, better if they invest in R&D ;)

That pic is quite silly - I'd bet Bill's not too happy about it - cause I can't imagine he would have approved ;)

But good for them to take this approach - only real complaint is that given how much money MS actually has, the amounts might be a little on the low side ;)

With $5,000,000 they could hire 50 security programers at $100,000 each. I'm sure at that salary they could attract a few very talented programers... if they have an ounce of foresight, they are planing to hire them with the $4,500,000 left over.

They should put the 5 mill towards making their software secure so they don't have to worry about virus writers.

haha.

Yeah I read about that, I find that really sad.

Okay everyone, write one line of code for a new virus, compile the code and when it hits big they will get a reward to catch us...

lol.
