      I think describing it as "let them sink" is wrong. How long do you throw a rope at them before you give up? CIOs made choice not MS.

      Also! New variants of the ransomware that hit Britain. If you work anywhere that runs XP, ask *now* if it's patched. Ask your IT. Patch.

      Let me put it this way: if software is eating the world, the world is going to eat software too. Responsibilities have to balance.

      What a ridiculous "Opinion" piece. XP was released in 2001, are you using any technology from 2001? At a loss for words!

      People claim that it's stupid to argue software safety consider every other historical example. Vint Cerf makes same point, too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Treating software security as a public health type problem would immensely help the software industry, and open up so many vistas.

      Per Brad Smith, that would surely involve the NSA not stockpiling these weapons? https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2017/05/14/need-urgent-collective-action-keep-people-safe-online-lessons-last-weeks-cyberattack/#sm.0000wdr9cwew4fpkps61za4d1wy52 …

      That sounds reasonable, and maybe NSA should do different things. But NSA "stockpile" is almost orthogonal to this problem.

          There is no "finite" supply of bugs--especially in Windows XP--and those will be found and weaponized regardless of NSA acts of any of them.

          Is it scandal that NSA's cache got stolen? Sure. But in this case, NSA warned companies (so opposite of stockpile) and there was a patch!
