Well, question here...

Why is it that Microsoft's code has less quality even though all code that's
written is instantly audited? (Each line of code is checked before it's
'passed' in to the code tree.)

I just don't understand... Why is it that a software product that a company
has been working on. And has so many precautions when writing... End up
sub-quality? While the 'flame of the month' browser is the most secure thing
since Swiss cheese?

I guess I'll just never understand.
