Yet another heads-up -- essays by Robert Michael Slade and Martin 
Levasseur made it into the MCP Mag newsletter entitled
'Security Watch: The Microsoft Security Debate -- Part One'.

Roberta's response is late -- Keith Ward said he'd post it February 23. 
  I wonder if he decided to postpone it because of Aucsmith's "We have 
never had vulnerabilities exploited before the patch was known," 
comment?  The BBC article doesn't say exactly when that keynote speech 
was made.

Heh.  I'd be pretty embarassed too.  Ward said:

"[S]o much criticism of Redmond on the topic of security is, I believe, 
ill-informed."
