Of course we all know that if, say Netscape was used by 90%+ of all the users out there, all the security explotes/viruses etc would be written for those applications.... Presuming that Netscape (or whomever) didn't break some basic principles of software engineering (ie. shoving a widely diverse set of features into a single monolithic component), it's a good bet that there'd be fewer bugs and that those would be more quickly fixed. ~200 days for the fix for the ASN.1 issue? That may be a new record. Presuming that Netscape (or whomever) didn't bundle their product with the monopolistic OS in a way that eliminates competition, along with contracts that discouraged OEMs from using alternative OSes, then it wouldn't be likely that any single product would achieve 90% reach anyway. Monocultures are good for disease, but bad for the population. - Andrew |
