Bill Gates defends Windows code & mocks Linux's

[Xeen]

quote:Bill Gates:You don't need perfect code to avoid security problems.

Stop making excuses for why it's ok that your programming skills suck!

 

quote:The fact is, there are security vulnerabilities in peoples' applications in many places. I mean, people act like some other systems don't have vulnerabilities; actually all the forms of Unix as well as Linux have had more vulnerabilities per line of code.

  :rolleyes:   Maybe I'm wrong here, but I find that hard to believe.

Actually I'd be prepared to believe that, considering the sheer volume of bloat in MS software. For example, if Microsoft writes a piece of software that's 20 times bigger than it needs to be, then even if it has, say, 10 times the number of bugs than the Unix equivalent has, it can still boast "fewer bugs per line".
