Steve Ballmer's "executive letter"Steve Ballmer's "executive letter"Posted Oct 27, 2004 19:18 UTC (Wed) by lacostej (subscriber, #2760)Parent article: Steve Ballmer's "executive letter"
"In part, this is because of the "many eyeballs" maxim of open source software that claims a correlation between the number of developers looking at code and the number of bugs found and resolved. While this has some validity, it is not necessarily the best way to develop secure software. We believe in the effectiveness of a structured software engineering process that includes a deep focus on quality, technology advances, and vigorous testing to make software more secure."
Can someone tell me how a "structured software engineering process that includes a deep focus on quality, technology advances, and vigorous testing to make software more secure" is incompatible with F/OSS? Aren't both (the process and the eyeballs) combined in some of the most important piece of software made by the FOSS community?
Isn't Linux developed using a structured software engineering process?
Tadada. Keep talking Steve.
