[NTLUG:Discuss] Hidden Malware in offshore products raisesconcerns

[Tom Tumelty]

I just had an eye opening thought.......we all know M$
has a development facility in india, and probably
other countries too i would suspect(but i do not
know).....i remember reading somewhere about
development of a car that is controlled by
Windows....seems that i remember a navy vessel that
was run by windows and left stranded ...and runs like
a charm using Linux.

has anyone thought about the quality of windows
combined with development in these prominent
outsourcing hubs.....and cars controlled by
this!!.....

geezzz it is a very sobering and frightening thought
in my opinion.
