"The developer responsible for the gaffe can expect to be held accountable, he added. "There are definite ramifications for situations like this," he said."

Er...should we expect from now on to see next to each windows patch the name of the developer responsible for the gaffe , maybe with a logic value indicated if she/he was fired as a result?

Everyone makes mistakes but a company with 1000's of employees, billions for R&D and which is going to start charging for betas, cannot let (not even admit that it let) millions of customer's pcs at the mercy of a single employee's mistakes.

IT, software and programmers have been used frequently as scape goats for organization failures, but I wouldn't expect that from an IT company!!
