he meant, that setting the liability precedent is quite important thing.
if someone sues microsoft over security flaw and wins (even in korea),
anyone can sue *insert your favourite os vendor name here* and win too. 

every software has bugs, making vendors liable is not a trivial thing.
making vendors liable for not providing security fixes in timely manner
is another thing (and maybe better).

it's interesting in any case...
