: Companies like Microsoft practise "security through obscurity"; that is, they keep quiet about security flaws and hope people don't notice; they also make reverse-engineering Windows a civil offense (that is, de-compiling the binaries and looking through the source code).SDF: Hey! Who said that "reverse-engineering Windows" was a "civil offense"? How does that all have the status of "law" wherever you live?
