Somehow I doubt there is any veracity to those claims. The newspapers should be more careful about posting [censored] like that.

As much as I dislike certain aspects of Microsoft's software, I don't think it's fair for a newspaper to try and destroy Microsoft's sales numbers by posting unfounded rumors like that.

The claims allegedly made by the suspect, even if he really said those things, are unlikely to be true. Microsoft's internal code review process would prevent such sabotage. Any security holes in their code would most likely be due to genuine bugs, not sabotage.

Besides, you don't even need to try to install security holes in Windows. It's got plenty already.
