Story: Open-source IE patch hits trust barrier

It's a bit ridiculous that MS hasn't yet released a patch for this vulnerability. MS and the proponents of proprietary software should see what's happening here: you're being upstaged at your own game on your own field by programmers you've tried to characterize as malcontent losers. I suspect we'll be seeing more of this in the future. Furthermore, the article mentions that trust is an issue, but the source code -- the individual lines of code that make the program do what it does -- is freely available to all for inspection. Sunshine has a way of exposing problems when they exist.
