This is what happens when the source code isnt open to review.

Microsoft has been committing class war against computer users since the 90's and they get all butt hurt as soon as someone holds their code to the flame.

    I can't imagine what nightmarish vulnerabilities Microsoft knows about and is hiding because they would require too much effort to patch. I bet there are some really crazy things that have probably been wide open for decades if you only knew where to look.
